Junior Delgado
"Sons of Slaves" 12-Inch Mix
I Am the Upsetter: Story of the Lee "Scratch" Perry Golden Years
(Trojan, 2005; rec. 1977)
"Tichion"
"Fort Agustus"
Original Guerilla Music: The Great JA Recordings

Junior Delgado had such a great growl. His raging political songs should be considered on par with those by fellow 1970s rootsmen Marley, Tosh, and Burning Spear. Delgado died on Monday in England.
