- Great idea. One small suggestion to those who wish to contribute:
- please include the producing company (along with address, if you can)
- as it makes it a *heck* of alot easier to order from a store.

- I'd like to offer a couple that I picked up in December:
-
- Strictly The Best - Volume 2 (compilation) (VPCD-1147)
- by VP Records: Main Branch, 170-21 Jamaica Avenue, Jamaica, NY 11432
-
- Features 12 great songs (mostly dancehall, a few roots) by Little Lenny,
- Nardo Ranks, Tiger, Shabba Ranks, Red Dragon, Reggie Stepper, Ninjaman,
- Ini Kamoze, Shabba Ranks & Deborahe Glasgow, Freddie McGregor, Frankie
- Paul, and Barrington Levy.
-
- My favorite cuts would have to be "Burrups" by Nardo Ranks, "Roots and
- Culture" by Shabba Ranks, "Kimbo King" by Reggie Stepper, and "Loving
- Pauper" by Freddie McGregor.
-
-
- Carnival Fever - Byron Lee & The Dragonaires (DY-3467)
- by Dynamic Sounds: 15 Bell Road, Kingston 11, Jamaica, WI
-
- Has 10 wonderful soca tracks (this is the best variety I have heard in
- a long time). My favorite ones would have to be Lady Teaser, Carnival
- Killer, Soki Soki, Black Man Came Out To Party, and last, but not least,
- Soca Lambada.
-
- Check 'em out!
