Shoot me a USB memory stick ...
How many hours worth .. you want ???
I'll give ya .. Roots, Ska, Rocksteady & Lover's Rock
Not a Dancehall fan .. but, got plenty of it
In Southern Ont. .. mail it to me ..
give me a couple of days & you'll have enough tunes to tide you over

Definitely Bob's "Legend" . Toots & The Maytals are good. Ziggy & Stephan Marley, Jimmy Cliff, ska, like Millie Smalls & The skatalites. Dennis Brown. Go to youtube. Good Luck !

Last FM ..is great for finding new artist as well as old ..
punch in the bands similar to ..on Goggle & let Last FM ..take over
combine it all with Youtube & discover away
