1	Songs of Freedom (1992) more music like this by Bob Marley & The Wailers Originally released as a limited-edition box set in 1992, Songs of Freedom presents an alternate history of Bob Marley's career, tracing his progression with outtakes, rare singles, alternate mixes, live tracks, and album tracks instead of the songs that formed the bulk of his legacy, as it were. The question is, is this a reasonable track to take ... see all copies from $22.25! new only from $46.55!
2	Rastaman Vibration [Bonus Track] (2001) more music like this by Bob Marley & The Wailers For Bob Marley, 1975 was a triumphant year. The singer's Natty Dread album featured one of his strongest batches of original material (the first compiled after the departure of Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer) and delivered Top 40 hit "No Woman No Cry." The follow-up Live set, a document of Marley's appearance at London's Lyceum, found the singer ... see all copies from $7.99! new only from $9.78!
3	Love Is the Song We Sing: San Francisco Nuggets 1965-1970 (2007) more music like this by Various Artists As the fourth Nuggets box from Rhino -- following the Children of Nuggets set, which may not count for some listeners as a true entry in the series as it documents the reverberations of Nuggets instead of the original big bang -- Love Is the Song We Sing: San Francisco Nuggets 1965-1970 is easily the most specific and idiosyncratic yet, a set ... see all copies from $52.22! new only from $52.22!
4	Chant Down Babylon (1999) more music like this by Bob Marley Sometime during the '90s, overdubbing classic recordings with new instruments and vocals became an accepted practice, since the intent was to introduce legendary artists to a contemporary audience. Evidently, these good intentions made these albums better than, say, overdubbing strings on Hank Williams' spare recordings after his death, since that ... see all copies from $4.00! new only from $10.96!
5	Rastaman Vibration [Deluxe Edition] (2002) more music like this by Bob Marley & the Wailers Bob Marley had reached critical mass as an international star when he came to make Rastaman Vibration in the winter of 1975-1976, having scored a Top 40 hit in the U.K. with "No Woman, No Cry" and seen his and the Wailers' last three studio albums belatedly enter the U.S. charts. Marley was acutely aware of his increasing status and its value. "We ... see all copies from $15.59! new only from $24.24!
6	Live at the Iron Horse (1997) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $3.49! new only from $11.37!
7	Spanning the Years (1995) more music like this by Steeleye Span A 35-song, two-CD best-of, moving from their earliest 1970 recordings through the early 1990s. The emphasis is properly on their 1970s work, and accordingly the first disc is more essential, though the second part also has merit. With lengthy liner notes by Maddy Prior, it's an excellent survey of the group and may serve the essential needs of ... see all copies from $17.95! new only from $45.79!
8	Best Dressed Chicken in Town (1978) more music like this by Dr. Alimantado One-of-a-kind Jamaican DJ Dr. Alimantado found unexpected fame with U.K. punks after Johnny Rotten bestowed his blessings. The hoopla was certainly warranted based on the high quality of his mid-'70s sides, several of which are included on Best Dressed Chicken in Town. Handling production chores himself, Alimantado enlisted top reggae engineers ... see all copies from $159.80!
9	Inflammable Material [US Bonus Tracks] (2005) more music like this by Stiff Little Fingers One more time Restless Records, in association with Ryko, trot out the first three Stiff Little Fingers albums for reissue (Inflammable Material, Nobody's Heroes and the live Hanx), this time in the United States. They are identical to the 2001 versions with bonus tracks, so punters beware of making the same purchase twice. Originally released in ... see all copies from $10.52! new only from $10.52!
10	Hanx [Bonus Tracks] (2005) more music like this by Stiff Little Fingers Recorded live in 1980 and released in early 1981, Hanx was hardly a new record, but it did contain incendiary performances of the very best tracks from both Inflammable Material and Nobody's Heroes, done in a raw, fast-and-furious style. Tempos are exaggerated a bit, but not annoyingly so, and sonics are solid without being dressed up. Versions of ... see all copies from $9.77! new only from $9.77!

12 view cover	So Glad I Found You (1999) more music like this by The Mystery Trend The Mystery Trend have been more a legend than a band since their dissolution, although some lo-fi unreleased tapes have made the rounds on the collectors' circuit. This 21-song compilation finally presents their legacy properly, including all of their 1966-67 Trident studio recordings, as well as some demos and even a solo demo apiece by Ron ... see all copies from $14.69! new only from $14.69!
13 view cover	Strangers World (1995) more music like this by Patty Larkin Continuing her examination of the various aspects and structures of faith, Patty Larkin expands her realm somewhat on Strangers World. This time around she chooses to include family, friends, and lovers in her exploration of what and who is worthy enough to believe in. (Apparently, the train was, but Johnny wasn't.) Producer John Leventhal, ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.69!
14 view cover	Playtime Is Over (2007) more music like this by Wiley Lest we believe Wiley settled with Big Dada as a last resort, after leaving XL and finding some dissatisfaction with the self-released route, the producer/MC opens Playtime Is Over with "50/50," in which he declares, over and over, that he has the best record deal, punctuating the track with "50... bumbaclot 50 !" He also big ups Big Dada by name ... see all copies from $4.29! new only from $5.81!
15 view cover	A Maid in Bedlam (1977) more music like this by John Renbourn A superb collection of traditional songs and Renaissance dances, it features the sublime voice of his Pentangle mate Jacqui McShee. Michael P. Dawson, All Music Guide see all copies from $15.61! new only from $15.61!
16 view cover	Hark! The Village Wait (1970) more music like this by Steeleye Span Originally released by British RCA, this debut album by Steeleye Span's original lineup -- Ashley Hutchings (bass), Tim Hart (electric guitar, electric dulcimer, banjo, harmonium, vocals), Maddy Prior (vocals, banjo), Terry Woods (mandola, mandolin, electric guitar, vocals), and Gay Woods (vocals, concertina, bodhran) -- barely made it out the ... see all copies from $8.53! new only from $8.53!

20 view cover	The Lark in the Morning: The Early Years (2003) more music like this by Steeleye Span Lark in the Morning: The Early Years is a mid-priced, two-disc rendering of the band's first three records. Remastered for the first time, Hark! the Village Wait, Please to See the King, and Ten Man Mop are featured in their entirety, and in their original sequence, making this an absolute necessity for fans, and a perfect entry point for the ... see all copies from $17.10! new only from $17.10!
21 view cover	Inflammable Material (1979) more music like this by Stiff Little Fingers With "Alternative Ulster" and "Suspect Device" leading the way, Inflammable Material is a compelling, raging record that derives most of its style from the Sex Pistols and simply cranks up the personal political issues a notch or two. There is a so-so version of Bob Marley's "Johnny Was" (call it the obligatory reggae cover), but that doesn't ... see all copies from $9.29!
22 view cover	Sings Kurt Weill, Vol. 2 (1993) more music like this by Ute Lemper see all copies from $14.65! new only from $14.65!
23 view cover	16 Valve Hate (1996) more music like this by Slapshot Slapshot not only were easily the longest-lasting of all the original Boston hardcore bands, but they managed to stay musically relevant much longer than, say, Gang Green. Released in 1996, 16 Valve Hate is a fully aggro blast of old-school hardcore, so defiantly true to the style's roots that it sounds timeless instead of retro. Original drummer ... see all copies from $9.00! new only from $9.43!
24 view cover	Born & Raised in Black & White (1985) more music like this by Mark Collie The first half of Collie's second album contained some smartly written songs, including "She's Never Coming Back" and "Calloused Hands," but some of the first album's edge had been smoothed off. Brian Mansfield, All Music Guide see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.34!
25 view cover	Live in Aberdeen (1979) (2003) more music like this by Stiff Little Fingers In 1979, Stiff Little Fingers recorded a number of live shows for their live disc Hanx (which was initially intended to get American fans up to speed on SLF's pre-Chrysalis body of song), and close to thirty years after the fact, one of the gigs committed to tape for the project gets a release of its own. While excerpts from this show appeared on ... see all copies from $10.73! new only from $10.73!
