DUDE NEVER GETS OLD

Here's a bunch of Big Youth, but it's really just an excuse to point you towards For the Sake of the Song, and a mixed bag of roots reggae they just posted. Their ten song post starts with Big Youth (who happens to be a favorite here, hence the weak tie-in). There's also some lesser known names that might be foreign to some of you, but trust me, check out that post. They had another post back in April that is pretty much the same formula (tier two names, tier one roots), and having dug their other selections in the past, I can vouch for just about any reggae they post. (Links to both at the very bottom.) They like a lot of the same stuff I do, so it's instant Pavlovian click-a-thon over here.

Some of the Big Youth below has been posted before, but there's five that haven't. One from the above mentioned post, and four early 45s from Music and Stuff, a blog I'd not seen until tonight. You know what that means: I'm cuttin' out to go sniff around over there.
