Bob Marley definitely introduced me when I was real little, I remember jamming to Stir It Up and No Woman No Cry in my backyard barbecues when I was like 5 haha. It always stuck with me and as I grew up I explored more artists in the genre and still stands as my favorite musical stylee.

The first time I ever really listened to Reggae was back when Saints Row 2 came out. Had a lot of great songs, like Barrington Levy's "Here I Come" and Chaka Demus and Pliers' "Murder She Wrote".

Been trying to get Dennis Brown's stuff recently but cannot find this **** anywhere, even legally. Where do you lot get it?

I can find Greatest Hits compilations but I'm looking for studio albums. A shame this isn't easy to find really.

3k post. Badman ting.

Honestly, I can't even remember where I got that album. It's the same for a lot of albums I picked up from about 2007 onwards.

If you want a bit of help finding Stagecoach Showcase, drop me a PM sometime and I'll see if I can help you out finding it

I bought my copy from a record store in Laguna Beach in the late 90's. Its usually only available via Ebay.

Wish I had mine on hard copy, sounds like a bit of a gem really. You got it on vinyl? Would you say it was as rare back then as it is now?

I'm just listening to it again now, it's really solid stuff. Almost puts me in the mood to start updating this thread again

I had been looking for a copy since 89. It is one of the rarest finds on vinyl. That copy on ebay for 19.99 is a steal. I listen to it on occassion. I've been going back through my reggae stuff and I find it never loses its ability to brighten my day. I find that reggae above all music has a certain charm that other genres just can't touch.

Discogs is a great place to find rare vinyl at great prices, however you're basically buying them sight unseen. I've never had any problems with it, though.
Here are all the listings for Dennis Brown's first album. It looks like the cheapest one that includes both the vinyl and the cover, as well as being in reasonable condition, is for about twenty dollars. However, keep in mind that it (and most of the records in this listing) is a reissue, and not an original pressing:

Here are some that should be original pressings, which are obviously much more expensive:
