[net.records] Reggae advice wanted

gordonl@microsoft.UUCP (Gordon Letwin) (10/24/83)

I'd like some advice on buying some Reggae records.  I have just one
raggae album... Jacob Miller's "Natty Christmas"... which I think
is kinda nice.  I've read reviews in magazines which 
really aroused my interest in "dub", as well.

Unfortunately, local record stores won't take returns based upon
artistic merit (more specifically, lack of it) and I can't afford
to buy 100 albums at $8 a shot to find a handful of good ones.

I'd appreciate any advice experienced Reggae hands could give a
beginner.  If it matters, the things I like about the reggae I've
heard are the rhythm and musical patterns - I like Jarre and Bach
for similar reasons.

Please mail me your words of wisdom; I'll summarize for the net.

	thanks
