1	Ultimate Reggae [UTV] (2003) more music like this by Various Artists UTV's Ultimate Reggae is something of a successor to previous reggae compilations issued by different branches of the Universal Music Group of labels, notably 1998's Pure Reggae and 1999's Reggae Party, at least in the sense that, if you wonder why a particular classic reggae track, such as Desmond Dekker & the Aces' "Israelites," is missing, it ... see all copies from $5.75! new only from $10.26!
2	Night Nurse [Bonus Tracks] (2002) more music like this by Gregory Isaacs Although his 1981 album, More Gregory, was picked up for international distribution, Gregory Isaacs' 1982 release, Night Nurse, was his first to be designed for an audience outside Jamaica. Accordingly, Island Records head Chris Blackwell upgraded the overall sound quality, making this Isaacs' most professional-sounding record yet, and he brought ... see all copies from $10.41! new only from $10.41!
3	Ultimate Collection (2001) more music like this by Gregory Isaacs You know the old saying about trying to be all things to all people? Well, with an artist as prolific as Gregory Isaacs, even a box set can never be an ultimate package but, that said, this 20-track collection is one of the better introductions to the artist. Bundling up songs recorded between the mid-'70s and the late '80s, the album leapfrogs ... see all copies from $10.26! new only from $10.26!
4	Reggae Pulse, Vol. 3: Love Songs (2004) more music like this by Various Artists This is a delightful sequence of love songs (many of them Jamaican remakes of American material) done in unadorned rocksteady or roots reggae style. Highlights include one of Gregory Isaacs' best songs, "Night Nurse," the elegant and romantic "Sweet Sensation" by the Melodians, and B.B. Seaton's comforting take on Bill Withers' "Lean on Me." ... see all copies from $12.30! new only from $12.30!
5	Back to Mine (2003) more music like this by Tricky Predictably unpredictable and unnerving as all get-out to sit through, Tricky's contribution to the Back to Mine series still manages to be an absorbing listen, despite all of the slammed-together transitions and wild stylistic jumps from track to track. Tricky's picks continually flit from old favorites of his to new discoveries and projects -- ... see all copies from $14.51! new only from $14.51!
6	Night Nurse (1982) more music like this by Gregory Isaacs One of Isaacs' most popular and enjoyable releases, 1982's Night Nurse sports the kind of slicked-up roots sound that emerged in the early days of dancehall-era reggae. In addition to effortlessly delivering the same smooth, "lonely lover" vocals that graced his many successful sides from the '70s, Isaacs, along with bassist "Flabba" Holt, also ... see all copies from $4.95! new only from $17.70!
7	Greatest & Latest (1998) more music like this by Gregory Isaacs It seems perverse to be scathing about a live album wherein the audience is so obviously enjoying itself, but there you have it. Perhaps it just all worked better in person, but on album, the 1997-1998 tour was a horror show, and Gregory Isaacs had no one to blame but himself. Obviously influenced by the hyperspeed rhythms storming out of the ... see all copies from $4.26! new only from $10.39!
8	Reggae Gold [Hip-O] (2005) more music like this by Various Artists Part of Hip-O Records' extensive Gold series of best-of compilations, Reggae Gold is one of the more definitive volumes in the series, rounding up 30 songs that truly are some of the best reggae ever. Granted, there are some major omissions. For instance, where's Bob Marley, or how about his fellow Wailer Peter Tosh? And what about the ragga ... see all copies from $5.49! new only from $10.47!
9	Love Songs [Box Set] (2006) more music like this by Gregory Isaacs Gregory Isaacs' enduring popularity in Jamaica is due in no small part to the common man persona he projects, and the best of his songs (he is an underrated and extremely prolific songwriter), which generally chronicle the despair of a decent man devastated by the twists and turns of being in love, have at their heart a kind of wounded amazement ... see all copies from $15.56! new only from $17.69!
10	NYC Sessions 1993-2004: X Amounts Of Niceness (2004) more music like this by Cottonbelly see all copies from $6.70! new only from $10.27!
11 view cover	The Reggae Box (2001) more music like this by Various Artists It's hard not to think that Hip-O's The Reggae Box will be the definitive word on the genre, not just because it spans four discs, but because Hip-O has open access to the Island vaults, and Island is to reggae as Sun is to rockabilly, meaning it's the defining force and leading light. With that as a base and with cross-licensing as a secret ... see all copies from $58.75! new only from $58.75!
12 view cover	Greatest Love Songs (2003) more music like this by Gregory Isaacs Gregory Isaacs has been so incredibly prolific in his career that the best way to approach his catalog is probably not through one of the many scattershot mid-price best-ofs that clutter the reggae marketplace, but rather with a more chronologically or thematically focused collection that takes the best material from a period of his career or from ... see all copies from $10.26! new only from $10.26!
13 view cover	Hail Up the Taxi, Vol. 2 (1999) more music like this by Sly & Robbie Drummer Sly Dunbar and bassist Robbie Shakespeare deserve their status as legends of modern reggae; as session players and producers they are either fully or partially responsible for some of the most powerful and enduring pop music of the last 30 years. That said, the compilation albums they've produced under their own names have been wildly ... see all copies from $6.48! new only from $6.48!
14 view cover	20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Gregory Isaacs (2004) more music like this by Gregory Isaacs The Gregory Isaacs edition of Universal's Millennium Collection is hardly a best-of in the typical sense, especially considering the breadth of the Lonely Lover's enormous output. That said, it's still a fantastic collection of music, highlighting one of reggae's brightest stars ever. There's not a weak song here, and there are quite a few ... see all copies from $7.81! new only from $7.81!
15 view cover	Island Love Shack, Vol. 2 (2003) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $13.39! new only from $13.39!
16 view cover	Made in Jamaica [Universal/CCM] (2007) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $9.37! new only from $9.37!
17 view cover	Mek It Bun (2003) more music like this by Horace Andy An interesting album from one of the ageless legends of the reggae scene. Here, Horace Andy provides some of his usual emotive vocals over the top of some bass-thumping reggae grooves. Production comes mainly from Guillame Briard, but there are tracks produced by Sly & Robbie, as well as Godwin Logie (known mainly for his work with the British ... see all copies from $8.92! new only from $8.92!
18 view cover	Jamaican Memories By the Score (1999) more music like this by Dwight Pinkney Jamaican guitarist Dwight Pinkney is best known for his work with Zap Pow and the Roots Radics, but with Jamaican Memories by the Score he has found a new platform for his melodic playing and steady, deep tone. A mixture of light reggae and jazz, Memories features old playing mates Ansel Collins on organ, Dean Fraser on saxophone, David Madden on ... see all copies from $7.11! new only from $7.11!
19 view cover	Encore: Live at Brixton (2000) more music like this by Gregory Isaacs see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
20 view cover	It's Only Love (2001) more music like this by Simply Red Simply Red's European release It's Only Love is something of a greatest-hits album, featuring singles that were left off the band's first hits collection, including "Remembering the First Time," "Never Never Love," and a lovely version of "Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye," and collecting later singles such as "Say You Love Me," "The Air That I Breathe," ... see all copies from $4.00! new only from $5.85!
21 view cover	Reggae Legends (2008) more music like this by Freddie McGregor Freddie McGregor's smooth and seemingly effortless vocals have given him an amazing commercial staying power in Jamaica's notoriously here-today-gone-tomorrow, singles-driven pop music scene, and if he is seldom flashy or particularly innovative, he always sings with the grace and conviction of a true soul singer. This four-disc, 57-track box ... see all copies from $40.48! new only from $40.48!
