Here are some things to look for from the discography in the back of
Jon Savage's _England's Dreaming: Anarchy, Sex Pistols, Punk Rock, and
Beyond_.  He also says that Steve Barrow is working on what should be
the definitive book on Reggae and Dub (looks like nothing available
yet).  (Most of this is Dub, since that's what I'm most interested in
hearing, I think.)

The manufacturer of a lot of these records:

     Trojan Records
     12 Thayer Street
     London W1M 6AU

A distributor/shop which supposedly has or can get most or all of the
Trojan reissues:

     Shanachie Records US
     Dalebrook Park
     Hohokus, New Jersey  07423
     USA

All the ON-U stuff I have, I love.  I've paid an average of about
US$15.00 apiece, which doesn't seem too bad.  (But anyone who has a
cheaper source, point me at it!)  There's a discography prepared by
Culfinion (AKA J.R. Binks) in England which is available at Dave 
Datta's music FTP archive site:

     ftp.uwp.edu: /pub/music/discog/o/on.u.sound

Culfinion can be contacted at:

     Culfinion <jbinks@nyx.cs.du.edu>

or one of several changing e-mail addresses in the U.K.

There's also a mailing list dedicated to ON-U Sound, run by Ben
Golding <bgg@pta.pyramid.com.au> in Australia.  I believe the address
is:

     on-u-request@pta.pyramid.com.au

but you might want to ask Ben directly.  (I had a heck of a time
getting on, due to some trouble with machines at my site which aren't
interested in sending e-mail to Australia.)

Hope this helps!
