There wasn't a thread for them (as far as my search results could tell). Now there is. Discuss. Here are some I'm partial to:

Anything on Mississippi Records. Seriously. Those guys are incredible.

Same thing goes for Line, Room40 and Touch, but that's a completely different vein.

I've been listening to a lot of weird European tape labels lately. Dekouderloog, Medicinal Tapes, and other bizarre labels. I don't have a good grasp on 'em yet. But it's been a lot of fun.

The No New York compilation is classic.

Not specifically this one, but these are usually pretty great:

This thing is incredible. I downloaded it because it was recommended as the best history lesson on reggae music, but it's such a smooth listen and it's packed with classics.
