The Upsetters - Super Ape 2.  The Congos - Heart of the Congos 3.  Jah Lion - Columbia Collie These albums are so ridiculously good, that the next best mixer (arguably King Tubby) doesn't really have anything that comes remotely close (except maybe King Tubbys Meets Rockers Uptown). They are in a class of their own, not only within dub/reggae, but within the entire universe of sound throughout history.
