The list might be a bit different now, but is a good combination of what I was obsessed with then, and ones I've come to love

Never even heard of that & definitely wasn't on my radar as a 16 year old

Fwiw here's a top 20 I prepared earlier..

A spectacular year for albums & they have left most of the good ones off..... I think I was going off Sounds in 1980..
November 23, 2025 at 9:47 PM
Yes! Could make my 5

Very good 😁... A fab book as well
November 23, 2025 at 9:39 PM
Looking forward to your list.. 😁

I was just thinking about Tubby

Tubby / Upsetter at Grass Roots of Dub maybe?

I've still never heard it..

It's a lot of work to find out and remember the discography for JA artists. A lot seemed to take years before making albums, or some made obscure JA only ones.

U Roy and Dadawah are two that may well feature for me
November 23, 2025 at 8:51 PM
Oh... In that case.... 👍
November 23, 2025 at 8:33 PM
Maybe the album has had various iterations? There were some reissues that had a different track order I think?

Mine is a recent Studio 16 copy

The other side is definitely a dub version
November 23, 2025 at 4:11 PM
Ooh that James single! Did you post this before?

I have no idea... I played a bit of it in the shop over headphones & thought it sounded very different. Much more bass heavy as well.

Could be the same vocal track?

We need @houseofreggae.bsky.social to shed some light on this I think?

Roscoe Head, Philharmonic, White Hart...

Oh..
Dig, Jacaranda, 81 Renshaw, Dead Air, Pop Boutique (best one by far)
November 23, 2025 at 3:17 PM
I'll see if I can get you a digital copy...
November 23, 2025 at 2:43 PM
That's exactly it isn't it?

Stiff singles on a company bag look great don't they?

Nice JB & Trojan tunes
November 23, 2025 at 2:25 PM
96 Tears must have been reissued on a whole bunch of different labels..
November 23, 2025 at 2:23 PM
I don't think I've ever seen a Tim Buckley single out there..
November 23, 2025 at 2:22 PM
That's another 7" that a lovely young chap in Leeds sent me.. 😁

Never a bad thing to have a spare copy of Madonna's best single
