        Got a chance to take my first trip to New York this summer. I spent a lot of time looking for records with no specific bias to genre, just good music. But what I kept finding was foundation reggae and dancehall tunes. Here are a few favorites, 100% vinyl...
Half Pint-No Sound Like My Sound		
Dennis Brown-Queen Majesty		
Horace Andy-Skylarking		
Dennis Brown-Johnny Too Bad		
U Roy-Your Ace From Outer Space		
Delroy Wilson-True Believer	
Gregory Issacs-Mr. Brown		
Rock Steady With Flo And Eddie-Pearl		
Sly Dunbar-Mr. Music		
Alton Ellis-Sinners Gonna Weep		
Sugar Minott	-Play On	
Johnny Osbourne	-Nightfall	
Toyan-Spar With Me		
Bad Brains-I &amp;amp; I Survive (Dub Version)
