This a thread for or any other collector's or casual enthusiasts of 1980's Dancehall.
From early pioneers of more roots based dancehall Barrington Levy, Johnny Osbourne, Yellowman and Eek a Mouse through to the gun toting Ragga stars of the late eighties Ninjaman, Beenieman and even Mr Lover man himself Shabba Ranks who despite his later commercial success still came up through the same dancehall scene.
So please post your favourite Labels, artists, producers and riddims and hopefully we can turn each other on to some great music.
If you don't know much about dancehall but are interested there are some great CD compilations that can probably be had quite cheaply or streamed via Spoyify or Tidal.
King Jammy's - Selectors choice vol 1 through to 4 are great although exclusively music from his own label.
Some ot the early Greensleeves Sampler's are ok as are the early Jet Star Reggae Hits releases are also ok.
