Youuuuu...yabby yabby youuuuuu.....youuuuuu...flabby flabby youuuuuu. Buy the Yabby LP Peter, if you can stretch to the price. I don't have it, but am familiar with the LP 'Conquering Lion' which is included in its entirety I believe. Beee-autiful. 'Heart of The Congos' is another absolute classic roots album, which I cannot recommend highly enough to you fine folks.

Thank you, Tim. My dithering days are over. What's the betting some bastard's beaten me to it? I think I can stretch to the price because I'm a right flash bastard, and what's more, after days of frenzied calculations, I worked out that it's cheaper here than in the UK! Because of the Millenium Dome's effect on exchange rates. A bonus like that is not to be sniffed at... The Congos album is indeed loveliness itself, I doubt even Nealy Wealy could match it for sensitivity.

Talking of reggae, the saddest song I can recall (apart from perhaps 'Brass Buttons', 'A Song For You' and '$1000 Wedding', all by Gram Parsons) is a reggae tune, 'The Long Way' by the marvellous Junior Byles. Top drawer, I can tell you. Oooh, I'm filling up just thinking about it.

In keeping with my new role as reggae expert I've been trying to think of a sad reggae song, but all I've come up with is "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me?" by Culture Club. And "Don't Break My Heart" by UB40. Both top tunes, but I think I need to do a bit more reggae research before I open my mouth to make any more pronouncements.
