i've not been big on lovers' rock previously but if he was good enough for lucid rhythms to remix him he's good enough to investigate: studio or anthologies?

compilations/anthologies/best-ofs

 

something i would say holds true for most reggae actually is that it is better when consumed in well selected anthologies. trojan records have a huge number of themed 3CD boxsets (which come actual nice 2CD sized boxes) of the real good stuff available. i have three(or 9 CDs); roots, dub, and abyssinians-related spiritual shit.

 

tl;dr - you can't go too far wrong with trojan records compilations.

i wonder which is the best cool ruler anthology available... the only song i've knowingly heard of his is night nurse, covered by a non-reggae band (phish)

i have those trojan dub box sets, and the ragga one as well... i would have to agree that reggae and dancehall are better anthologized, love riddim driven
