Is there any "audiophile grade" Reggae out there on CD?

I'm starting to get back into Reggae after about a 30 year hiatus. Please chime in.

I have several Reggae-centric compilations on CD I could suggest that provide very nice treats for any Reggae friendly audiophile.

Mapman, can you provide me with some of the names of those compilations please? I know there's plenty out there, but i want the ones that sound good, of course. :)

Great sounding on both LP and CD. And a bonus, the music is some of the very best I have ever heard. Great songs, great messages.
