Yes they should be. Tower will have a great selection but the smaller ones
probably will be a little more hit or miss. They have released couple of
records in recent years that are really good and in fact the last one was
nominated for a grammy! Try to get their firs recordt which has a red cover
with the band name written in yellow. Most any comp on Hearbeat will be at
least decent and many on Trojan are certified classics. BTW, for you New
Yorkers, in the Bronx Coxsone Dodd (who discovered the Wailers and recorded
many of the early ska standards on his label Coxsone) has his own record store
that sells many of the original 45s and Lps.
