It's incredible that Norman Grant hasn't reissued this, I guess there must be a legal wrangle 'cos I've often seen him in Brixton supplying his back catalogue to the reggae shops.
I've just burnt it to CDR for someone, if anyone else is after a copy drop me a pm.

What choose just one?????
This is so perplexing i could go on all night but in short my first alb was Bob's Exodus. I'll happily pass away listening to Natural Mystic
Then came stuff like King Tubby meets rockers uptown which blew me away, later on i started picking up stuff like Steel Pulse and Handsworth Revolution but when I’m feeling nice, nice, nice, i have to reach for Wa-Do-Dem by Eek-A-Mouse.
Englishman by Barrington Levy, Pete Tosh and Legalize, and a nice compilation i have on LP, now out of print though i got a 2nd hand american import rec.., called Strictly for Rockers often gets a play and I never tire of Babylon by Bus, Rebel Music, Mouse A Mania,….
You see it’s too hard to pic one
Tis all good

Perhaps not so much of a classic as many mentioned but the album I have probably played most over the years
His Majesty is Coming - The In Crowd
the first time I really heard reggae , introduced by Chris Hill to a funk/soul audience at the Goldmine on Canvey some time in the late 70`s . changed my record buying for the next few months.

I'm going to dare mentioning UB40 again, cos tthey got a surpisingly mild, even positive, reaction last time. They have/had such an uncredible image!
But last night, I was listening to 'Baggariddim' for the first time in absolutely years. There's some amazingly good vocals on that!

This was one of the first albums I ever owned.
I only saw him once in france a few years ago and I was very impressed.
Amazing to hear several hundred french people sing every word of natty rebel.
Aye, that's a toptastic album. In fact, U Roy was one of the first reggae artists I ever heard next to Marley. I used to go to a blues club in Hitichin
eek: )and skank away till the early hours to his dub-style dance hall.

either way, he's a star.
wasn't he the first jamaican toaster? which would make him one one of the first people to ever MC/rap/call it what you like?
