The Love Joys’ first album, initially released in 1981 on the Florida-based Top Ranking label. Ten tunes produced and recorded at Wackies NY, ranging from lovers rock and uptempo dance vibes to roots and reality.

Ace.
Chugging, confessional, Chicagoan loveliness from Delroy Williams, Ricky Grant and George Allison.
‘I have seen the moment of my greatness flicker, And I have seen the eternal Footman hold my coat, and snicker, And in short, I was afraid.’

Definitive Remasters CD.

Heavy, stricken, searing Wailers; dreader than dread. Plus one of the all-time great dubs: desolate, abyssal; a matter of life and death.

Both sides are stone classic, archetypal UK reggae, produced by Dennis Bovell.

A sweetly Christmassy, party-rocking rework of the William Bell / Booker T original.
