Thanks for that, mch, tips like yours are why I just love this forum!

As a reggae newbie (only since about 1984 or so) and having missed all the big 80's & 90's tunes living in the Colonies where none were played, it has been good to plunder the recent (since 2010 or so) VP Anthology 2xCD series.

So far Culture, Joe Gibbs 12" vols 1-5, Dennis Brown, Cocoa T, Eek A Mouse, Mighty Diamonds and Barrington Levy are in my grasp with Yellowman, Niney, Sugar M and Cutty Ranks on the Wish List. Sound quality is generally good to excellent and the notes are useful and build on the now out of date Reggae Rough Guides info.
