I bought them at a flea market during a school trip in England. They’re CDs and in a pretty rough condition but that’s the advantage of CDs compared to vinyl - they play without issues!
I prefer this type “raw” reggae over other more pop-oriented reggae with good production.

Dropping by to ask how you like the recent improvements in the art creator page?
I’ve been wanting captions myself for a along time, I think being able to copy the alt text was nice but not as useful as defacing the cover art with a caption…

Off topic: Not sure it’ll be your cup of tea exactly, but I’m really enjoying this new release by Skinshape (an artist I only discovered a couple of years ago myself): Skinshape x Horus | Skinshape, Horus All Stars | Skinshape
I would call this release reggae-adjacent, collaborating with Ben Bell from the London-based Lionvibes records reggae label.

I can still remember purchasing my copy of Ex:el in the record shop of my home town. I must confess it sounds pretty dated now, but I am glad to see it is still getting some spins nowadays.

My top albums of 2025 will be a little too similar to the stats I posted in August, so I will skip this one.
Love the “Endtroducing….” album BTW
