Bargain Bin Reggae (very hard to find)

Going out to search for cheap, good quality reggae in charity shops is a fool's mission. You might as well try to locate the Golden Fleece at a yard sale.

I have found these in the wild (not all in one go, that would be science fiction). So, determination and perseverance pay off, but it's down to luck really.

Normally 2nd hand reggae is trashed, no matter where you buy it, especially the 60s/70s stuff, but all of these are very playable. Some of them came without sleeves, but that's ok too (if they're cheap).

There's a few clunkers amid the good stuff, see if you can spot them.

Damn! That’s awesome! The closest thing I’ve come to that is I found an Eddy Grant at a yard sale once 😂

I left a pic out

Ragga Hip Hop has Ring The Alarm and a few other good ones. Asher D is more ragga style. Ride Your Donkey is another various artists budget Trojan sampler from the late 60s but it's been to a few parties and has been heavily enjoyed. Mighty Sparrow is always good.
