CD from Doctor Bird.

Trenchant political reasoning over his own giddyingly brilliant production.
From 1978; in the same vein as Bafflin’ Smoke Signal.
Inimitable Upsetters genius.

Accompanied by Misty In Roots, at London’s Matrix Studio, early in 1987. This anniversary issue adds six studio and seven live recordings, all previously unreleased.

A worthy catalogue raisonne of the JA recordings of this almighty genius at his peak.
A year-by year discography, with more than eight hundred label images, a heap of wonderful photos (including Adrian Boot’s classic images of the Black Ark), and spotlights on key players like Bob Marley, Junior Byles, Augustus Pablo, Junior Murvin, and Yabby You.
Sumptuously presented in full colour throughout 280 pages of coated paper, 297x210mm, with a classy soft-touch cover.
It’s a must.

Please double-click through the label image for a sna of the B-side label, which is missing the print around its centre-hole.

Plenty of prime Upsetters here.
