DreadLion No serious Jamaican music collection is complete without this one! Every tune on this LP is a classic. The riddims alone not only charted the way forward for Studio One but also served as a template for the music to follow in successive decades. Literally every tune on this LP has been versioned more times than can be counted. Favorite track: Still Trying.
