Dennis Brown - Brown Sugar
Essentially a collection of his hit 45s on the Taxi and Powerhouse labels, as well as the singer's own Yvonne's Special (named after his wife). Dennis Brown was at the peak of his popularity, emanating total confidence, and the rhythms were the brightest and most dynamic around. Seven tracks might not appear particularly good value, but three of these have extended mixes that confirm the jugernaut power of the Taxi Gang. Includes "Revolution", "Sitting & Watching" and "Hold On To What You've Got".

East Coast Vol. 1
In response to the "Chase Vampire" album posted earlier, another album on the rhythm.
Thanks to Upryzah for the link.
Cover someone?
Major Worries - Babylon Boops
Before falling victim to West Kingston's gun culture, Major Worries was another deejay seemingly set for the premier league. Possessor of a unique and easily recognizable style, with no shortage of original lyrics, he made his best work for King Jammy, and it's all here. The title track remains his best-known hit, though there is plenty else to confirm how important a talent was lost.
Big thanks to HeRo for the contribution.

Sugar Minott - Sugar & Spice
Sly & Robbie took long enough to release this set, which rather took away from it's impact at the time. In retrospect, though, it stands as one of Minott's most consistent, and a handy way of obtaining the hits "Rub A Dub Style", "Devil Pickney" and "Herbman Hustling".

Great British M.C.'s
The album that confirmed in no uncertain terms the abundant talent and energy of UK MCs. The music of the 'mic' men does not always date well, but Philip Levi's "Mi God Mi King" stands as a true classic of the genre, while contributions from the likes of Smiley Culture, Peter King and Asher Senator show why UK MCs were - for a while - causing more excitement then their Jamaican counterparts.

Chase Vampire Rhythm Track Explosion
I guess everybody knows Shancho's "Chase Vampire", well this is the rhythm album. Its not clear when it was recorded, in 1987 or 1990, personnaly I guess it's from 1987.
It's strange to me that this tough rhythm isn't versioned more, Jammy has a few tunes (W. Smith - "Granny" & L. Smart - "Cream Of the Crop") and Penthouse has some...
