Mix CD for a reggae 'virgin' - How'd I do?

[Roots_Rocker_Matt]

Hey guys,
A friend of mine recently mentioned he wanted to be introduced to roots reggae, dub, dancehall and rocksteady, and wanted me to throw a few songs on a cd for him. He wanted some Lee Perry stuff specifically.

I was very happy to throw a mix cd together! I wanted make sure I had a real broad range of styles and sounds on it. So heres the tracks I ended up mixing for him:

1. Intro*
2. Firehouse Rock · Wailing Souls
3. One Step Forward · Max Romeo
4. Curly Locks · Lee Perry
5. Mr. Chin · Yellowman
6. Anarexol · Eek-A-Mouse
7. Rock ‘N’ Groove · Bunny Wailer
8. Fisherman · The Congos
9. Three Blind Mice/Three Times Three · Leo Graham,
King Tubby & The Upsetters
10. King Tubby Meets The Rockers Uptown · Augustus Pablo
11. Dyon Anasawa · The Upsetters ft. Full Experience
12. Jealousy & The Get Free · Bedouin Soundclash
13. Reggaemylitis · Peter Tosh
14. Natty Have Him Credential · Don Carlos
15. Informer · Cocoa Tea
16. Mr. Money Man · Danny Hensworth
17. Money Worries · Bedouin Soundclash ft. Vernon Maytone
18. Ganja Smuggling · Eek-A-Mouse
19. Bird in Hand · Lee Perry
20. Outro*

Intro and outro were just some vocal samples (intro was from a Tubby dub, says "Reggae music-ic, come make we dance it quick")

Tried to stay away from Bob Marley; no disrespect, its just everyone knows his songs.
I know I'm missing the early ska/rocksteady sound, i got caught up in the roots!

What do you think? Anything I miss that should go on part 2

Lot of good tracks on your mix album, looks like it has a nice flow to it aswell.

Currently uploading, i think. Add "upload progress bar" to your site's wishlist Leggo

Thats what I was going for! I didn't want a really fast track right after a mellow dub, y'know? Barrington's Here I Come was on my list, but it didn't fit in well with the vibe... Will add link once it finishes uploading! (tu)

Yes, you're right about the progress bar. I'll ask my son if he knows how to sort that. The site is made up from a hacked about bit of software, all originally written in German. So it has provided us with some, er, challenges at times!

Having said that, it does a great job!

As a work around, when I upload stuff I open 'Activity Monitor' (not sure what the Windoze equivalent of this is but it does have one) and click on Network activity which gives me a graphical check on my internet connection. This way I can see that the upload is really happening!
