God will forgive them. He'll forgive them and allow them into Heaven.....I can't live with that.

Happy birthday Island!  Home of my favourite record ever:

Fav Island album is a tough one...any of Nick Drake's? Solid Air? Joshua Tree? Catch A Fire?

Thought my favorite Jimmy Cliff, Unlimited, apparently wasn't on Island.  Perhaps a subsidiary?

Thanks dB!  I meant to pick that up that album last year.  Just added it to 'the list' and will certainly get it in the next couple of months.

Summer's coming making it even more essential! No wait, does Summer come to Sasquatch, Canada? You get Summer, right?  ;)

It sorta comes.  Less than a week ago it snowed, but tomorrow the temperature is supposed to reach more than 20C.  So excited.

Damn! I don't know where to buy MOJO near my new house, haven't picked this one up yet! This looks AWESOME!!!

I've never actually thought about it, but Island is probably the greatest record label, EVER!!! ;D Even if they'd only released the Jamaican artists, they would've had a legitimate shot at the title, but look at EVERYONE they've released over the years: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_former_Island_Records_artists
