I have almost none of my vinyl from back then. I might have tapes of some.

You should try Jimmy Cliff's "Justice" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAfNQlBa44I

and pretty well any Prince Buster - here's probably his best known "Al Capone" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OaDx6_-WbLs.

I always Loved this one from Derrick Harriott http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfmjpBDjiWc

Then of course there were other reggae bands - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwxfsOXq2w8

This is my paltry contribution, I know it's very populist but then I wasn't there:

Althea and Donna: Uptown Top Rankin

Police and Thieves in the Street

This thread is primarily directed at Mudcat member Richard Bridge - respected lawyer and lecturer - who has unbeknownst to some, a shady past as a reggae DJ!

If you have time Richard please link to videos or sound files of some top classic reggae tunes of yor, as it seems I kno nuthing about this.

And of course anyone else who fancies contributing to the retro reggae discotheque, please do so likewise.
