BURNING WOOD ALBUM GUIDE S-Z (plus 40 Great Reggae Albums)
This is an album guide courtesy of the blog Burning Wood and its creator Sal. You should bookmark this great music site and visit it all the time. As you will soon discover, Sal is a musician, writer, record seller and above all fan of music. He is passionate, opinionated, but always ready to give an artist a third or fifth or tenth try. Far more than me! Plus, check out the great vinyl Sal has for sale on Discogs. He is scrupulously detailed and honest about the condition of each and every album he sells. You will not be disappointed in the quality of any purchase you ever make.
NOTE: Ratings on a five star scale. Albums with a perfect five stars are bolded and in all caps so they're easier to spot
