Horace Andy is probably my favorite reggae singer, I wouldn't even put him down as strictly reggae since the dude is clearly a soul singer that just happened to be from jamaica. If you can't get into his stuff, I don't know what to tell you
1 - aint no sunshine.mp3 - 5.12MB - obv a cover of the Bill Withers (?) original
2 - dont try to use me.mp3 - 6.33MB I think this is a cover as well but I can't recall who sang the original
3 - a quiet place.mp3 - 4.96MB A very famous song goes by all sorts of names, A Man Next Door is I think the most popular. It's been covered tons of times, written by John Holt. Discogs curiously gives credit to both Holt and Andy on the vocals.
4 - a noisey place.mp3 - 5.61MB A dub version of Quiet place, credited to King Tubby

By 1976, Lee "Scratch" Perry was well established at his Black Ark studio, a fact proven by the quality of the creations emerging from its walls. The success of Max Romeo's "War in a Babylon" brought a deal with Island Records and the possibility of greater financial rewards. The single was followed by a full-length album of the same name as well as deejay Jah Lion's Columbia Colly LP. Riding this crest of productivity, Scratch then turned to a creation of his own. Super Ape offered a series of the producer's finest 1976 rhythms, from Devon Irons' "When Jah Come" and the Blue Bells' "Come Along" to Romeo's "War in a Babylon" and "Chase the Devil." All are bathed in the distinct, murky atmosphere that was becoming a Black Ark trademark, then served up in the form of dub-like de-constructions. Island's U.K./U.S. sequencing of Super Ape places "Dread Lion" at the album's heart. If any track fulfills the cover's promise to "Dub it up, blacker than dread", this is it. Vocals from numerous cuts seem to compete for their spot on the rhythm, while a dizzying mix of horns, flute and melodica swirl around them. Punctuating the song's rock-solid underbelly, Perry conjures startling thunderclaps from his mixing board. Other Super Ape heavyweights include "Croaking Lizard" and "Zion's Blood": thick muscular constructs from the Upsetter session team. The former features an excellent Prince Jazzbo toast over the "Chase the Devil" rhythm, while the latter, a cut of "When Jah Come," draws its elusive meaning from vocal phrases courtesy of Heptones Earl Morgan and Barry Llewellyn. Super Ape is a dubwise, alternate universe to Perry's Black Ark vocal hits. It awaits anyone willing to heed it's closing call: "This is the ape-man, trodding through creation, are you ready to step with I man?".
and screwd dub is off tha chain.. big ups Christian for uppin that

In 1973, Coxsone Dodd had to adapt to the dub scene after doing soul reggae for so many years, and he came with some incredibly ill shit under the moniker Dub Specialist.

kids from foreign was pretty good as i remember, but i haven't listed to any of their stuff in ages. i might have yardcore (the track) on the mp3 player, that's about it
i usually go a little wider in scope than roy but not by much, most of the reggae i listen to was made before the mid 80s

With the rise of the DJs in the 1970s, Studio One found itself in the unenviable position of seeing its back catalog thoroughly plundered for rhythms. And while the label had dug into their archives on numerous occasions as well, the rise of a new generation of producers had seen its position in the market seriously slip. Clement "Coxsone" Dodd hit back first by remixing old cuts in a more contemporary style, and then took the next logical step of having artists write new lyrics to these reinvigorated classics. Sugar Minott led the way with his 1978 debut album Live Living; Johnny Osbourne's Truth and Rights followed hot on its heels the next year. Osbourne had launched his career a decade earlier, but his earlier success had been negated by his relocation to Canada, and thus Studio One announced his return with a handful of singles before unleashing this album. On an island awash in vocal talent, Osbourne's voice was not exceptional -- a strong, clear tenor; his delivery, however, was rich with nuanced emotions. But the same could be said of dozens of others; Osbourne's real strength lay in his lyrics. Much of Truth and Rights is culturally themed, but the singer also had a keen ear for the street, and a dancehall number like "Sing Jah Stylee," a huge hit, is a superb little vignette of life that unfolds right before one's eyes. Equally strong is "We Need Love," where he vividly conjures up the days of his youth before transforming the piece into a potent unity number. The title track relays his own powerful personal manifesto, one that is further expanded on "Children Are Crying," a militant call to consciousness. And whether the singer was declaring his devotion to a lady, as on the acerbic "Can't but Love," or the Lord, as on the smash "Jah Promise," Osbourne's convictions ring true. With his masterful pen and emotive delivery and backed by adeptly updated island favorites, Truth and Rights reignited the singer's career. The album was extraordinary in its time and has since earned the deserved reputation of a masterpiece. ~
