This is IRIE!
Satta Masagana by Abyssinians is a classic reggae album from the 70’s. Contains great songs like Declaration of Rights, Satta, Good Lord and Y Mas Gan. One of my top ten albums ever.
In the end of this video there is a wonderfully light and joyfull Third World version of their Jah Glory. Life is good!
Gregory Isaacs’ production from late seventies - early eighties has a special place in the history of roots reggae. Here you can see Gregory at his best live at Brixton Academy 1981! No question why he’s being called “Cool Ruler”

Heard this one for the first time back in 1976. Virgin Records released their Front Line collection with samples from artists like U-Roy, Johnny Clarke, Keith Hudson and Mighty Diamonds. This album was one of the first reggae albums I ever bought, the price was 5 finnish marks (about one dollar) and it stands out even today as one of the best compilations ever.
