"Back in the day," we used to call our favorite sample packs "records" or simply "LPs."
Some of my favorites were by Bob Marley & the Wailers, Peter Tosh, Bunny Livinston, the original Wailers, the Skatellites, Toots & the Maytalls, Lee Scratch Perry, Black Uhuru, Sly & Robbie, Jimmy Cliff, Desmond Deker, Tonton David, Tiken Jah Fakoly, Alpha Blondy, Junior Murvin, Lucky Dube, Eek-a-Mouse, anything on Trojan Records or Studio One, or even British "Blue Beat" groups like Selector, The Specials, Madness, and The English Beat. Those were some of my favorite sample packs-- Real Reggae.
