I was just looking on UK-D for first time in ages and saw this thread. I've been living in Jamaica now for two and a half years so well immersed in reggae. Great list John, many of which I knew but a few good new finds. One of my noughties faves was this from Max Romeo – Birth of Reggae Music:

And for those reggae heads, I've started writing an occasional series of pieces on life in Jamaica for the excellent Test Pressing site www.testpressing.org Check the Dennis Brown track for an incredible bass and drums break. Well worth having a root around the site as some great mixes and different bits on there.
Cheers,
Andy
