Love U-Roy. I have an '86 copy of Dread In A Babylon and one of the recent reissues. There's not much in it. That cover though! Got a Live At The Lyceum 12" with Runaway Girl & Chalice In The Palace on, the album versions are brilliant though.
Have you read Bass Culture by Lloyd Bradley. Lots of great stories about the artists and labels. I guess a lot of reggae artists are like U-Roy, never really able to capitalise of the brilliant output.
Made me think of Prince Far I - Under Heavy Manners. Classic dub cover art :)

A mate of mine released some stuff for U-Roy, all legit, the artwork he got given (by the man himself!) was mostly old bootleg sleeves that weren't in very good condition at all... Made me smile...
