1	History of Trojan Records, Vol. 2: 1972-1995 (1996) more music like this by Various Artists This 150-minute, two-disc set is one of the best overviews of classic reggae available. Volume 1 focused on ska and rock steady tracks from the 1960s, and this one consists primarily of material from the '70s and '80s, reggae's classic period. Though Trojan has a reputation for mediocre production quality and shady business dealings with its ... see all copies from $17.51! new only from $17.51!
2	The Story of Jamaican Music: Tougher Than Tough (1993) more music like this by Various Artists A superlative introduction to the world of Jamaican music, Tougher Than Tough is a treasure trove of information, filled with unforgettable music. Across four discs and 95 songs, this set spans the entire history of the island's vibrant music scene, hitting all the major stylistic bases along the way, and rounding up many of Jamaica's greatest ... see all copies from $127.49!
3	Heaven & Earth (1996) more music like this by The Paragons Bargain-bin reggae albums can take you by surprise sometimes. In most cases, sloppy cover art, a complete lack of musician credits or liner notes, and a generic, almost pseudonymous label name will lead you to expect second-rate material with lackluster sound quality, and you'll be usually right. But this album is an exception to that rule in ... see all copies from $2.10! new only from $5.87!
4	Respect to Studio One (1994) more music like this by Various Artists This is really more of a label sampler than a thematic compilation, as all of the 33 tracks have appeared on Heartbeat releases. What is for sure is that all of the rocksteady, ska, and dancehall numbers were recorded at the legendary Studio One recording studio, with the equally legendary Clement "Coxsone" Dodd producing. There's little in the ... see all copies from $10.10! new only from $22.53!
5	1000 Volts of Holt (1974) more music like this by John Holt One really doesn't know what to make of a scene whose greatest composers often had their biggest hits covering other peoples' songs. But that was the state of the reggae scene in the first half of the '70s. Island-fying pop hits has a long tradition in Jamaica, dating to the music industry's earliest days, but in the '70s Britain was, if anything, ... see all copies from $15.93! new only from $15.93!
6	The Tide Is High: Anthology 1962-1979 (2001) more music like this by John Holt see all copies from $7.99! new only from $13.34!
7	The Best of Reggae [Deuce] (1997) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $4.99! new only from $7.53!
8	Ultimate Holt (2001) more music like this by John Holt see all copies from $8.48! new only from $8.48!
9	Reggae's Best (1998) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $10.61!
10	The Great Sound of Jamaica (2000) more music like this by Various Artists This budget line three-disc set devotes a disc each to vintage ska, rocksteady and roots reggae sides, and either by design or due to the vagaries of Jamaican licensing policies, it avoids including the standard stuff that usually pops up on these kinds of collections. That's a plus, because while there are some familiar cuts here like the ... see all copies from $21.90! new only from $21.90!
11 view cover	Reggae Be Eba'ting (2001) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.98!
12 view cover	Greatest Hits more music like this by John Holt No one could seriously mistake this for a collection of John Holt's greatest hits, but it does contain a workable set of rare, early roots numbers produced by the legendary Clement "Coxsone" Dodd, making it a sort of secondary purchase for fans and collectors. The sound is rather muted in spots, with some crackles and pops, and it is obvious that ... see all copies from $12.00!
13 view cover	Police in Helicopter (1983) more music like this by John Holt John Holt, both as a member of the Paragons and as a solo artist, had established himself as the master of pop with a multitude of love, love lost, and other typically pop-themed hit singles. However, with Police in Helicopter, the singer reinvented himself as a more contemporary, cultural artist.The title track, a Jamaican smash, set the defiant ... see all copies from $8.09! new only from $8.09!
14 view cover	UB40's Jukebox: 18 Original Reggae Hits (1998) more music like this by Various Artists A solid compilation for fans of the group as well as general reggae admirers, UB40's Jukebox includes a variety of reggae classics like "Sweet Sensation" by the Melodians, "Wear You to the Ball" by the Paragons, "Many Rivers to Cross" by Jimmy Cliff, and the original reggae version of their biggest hit, "Red Red Wine" by Ken Boothe. Keith Farley ... see all copies from $3.98! new only from $12.75!
15 view cover	24 Karat Gold: A 24 Track Mega-Mix of Classic Dancehall Hits (2000) more music like this by Various Artists Reggae fans nostalgic for the early days of dancehall will get a kick out of this compilation, which features 24 hits from the early to late 1980s, the period during which dancehall was emerging as a distinct reggae subgenre but well before the ascendancy of the computerized rhythms and ragga. Most of these songs are strictly old school: "Zungu ... see all copies from $4.97! new only from $16.21!
16 view cover	Reggaemania: The Best of Reggae (1996) more music like this by Various Artists Reggaemania: The Best of Reggae is a fine collection of first-rate cuts from classic reggae stars like Bob Marley and Toots & the Maytals. While most of the artists on the collection are not represented by their most famous songs, the collection nevertheless gives a good idea of what each artist sounds like and, therefore, makes a good ... see all copies from $2.99! new only from $3.18!

18 view cover	Yesterday [Trojan] (1995) more music like this by Various Artists Many of Mainstream's reissue LPs were kind of confusing, including this album, which does not list recording dates and confuses some of the personnel. The music is actually quite good, although much of it has since been reissued by Fantasy. Tenor great Stan Getz teams up with guitarist Jimmy Raney for three early recordings; fellow tenor Wardell ... see all copies from $3.50! new only from $14.57!
19 view cover	Rock Steady Soul: Original Cool Sounds of Duke Reid's Treasure Isle (2001) more music like this by Various Artists Moving into territory dominated by the Trojan and Heartbeat labels, Metro offers up a generous helping of producer Duke Reid's prime rocksteady and early reggae sides from the late '60s. While the sound quality is good and the liner notes informative enough, the real plus here is the fine track selection and bevy of alternate takes. Heartbeat's ... see all copies from $13.39! new only from $13.39!
20 view cover	Help Me Make It Through the Night: The Best of John Holt (2003) more music like this by John Holt This is a generous 25-track sampler from Trojan Records of John Holt's mid-period output, including versions of "The Tide Is High" and "Wear You to the Ball," as well as the big British hit, Holt's cover of Kris Kristofferson's "Help Me Make It Through the Night," which, with its smooth arrangement and thick strings, belied Holt's solid ability as ... see all copies from $20.12! new only from $20.12!
21 view cover	New Era Reggae (1999) more music like this by Various Artists New Era Reggae gathers tracks from new-school and roots performers like Freddie McGregor, Dennis Brown, Marcia Griffiths, Mykal Rose, Judy Mowatt, Yami Bolo, Carlene Davis, John Holt, Avaran, Nadine Sutherland, and many more. Steve Huey, All Music Guide see all copies from $14.79!
22 view cover	Solid Gold: Coxsone Style (1992) more music like this by Various Artists The Heartbeat label continues collecting up the brightest moments from the Studio One label, with this latest compilation dedicated to Coxsone Dodd's work in the early reggae age. A new crop of producers were making their name with incredibly jittery rhythms, but even as Dodd hardened his own sound, the lavish melodies and heady atmospheres ... see all copies from $13.49! new only from $13.49!
23 view cover	The Best of Studio One, Vol. 2: Full Up (1983) more music like this by Various Artists With a mere 12 tracks and clocking in at under 40 minutes, this album is certainly not full up, as for the rest of its title, well that is a less-contentious claim. This is the second volume of classic cuts from Coxsone Dodd's legendary Studio One label and includes pocket bios of each of the artists, though infuriatingly few release dates. The ... see all copies from $20.55!
24 view cover	Live at Reggae Sunsplash: Best of the Festival - Day One (1982) by Various Artists see all copies from $34.99!
25 view cover	20 Super Hits (1990) more music like this by Volcano All Stars see all copies from $8.93! new only from $10.44!
