5 out of 5 stars Roots Reggae   November 12, 2008
Marcus Garvey was not Burning Spear's debut - he put out Rockin' Time a year earlier.

Also, I read that Chris Blackwell and Island remixed Jack Ruby's production because it was too ferocious. Does anyone know if a copy of that is available? I know they reissued Marley's excellent Catch a Fire with the original, un-Chris Blackwell-ed version recently, and I was wondering if they had done the same for Burning Spear.

I also really recommend Dry and Heavy, with one of my favorite B. Spear tracks, Throw Down Your Arms. Also, Junior Murvin, Peter Tosh, and anything produced by Lee Scratch Perry.

This CD tops my list of the top roots albums of all time. To my list I add
Twinkle Brothers "Rasta Pon ToP"
Isreal Vibration "Forever"
Culture's "Two Sevens Clash" & "Wings of a Dove"
Yabba You
and of course
The Gladiators "Dreadlocks The Time Has Come"


5 out of 5 stars Do You Remember??   October 25, 2004
I traded my vinyl copies of these 2 albums in around 1989 when this CD was first offered. This is a series of true milestones in roots reggae! It doesn't get any more pure and perfect than this. A MUST HAVE.

A friend turned me onto this and from that day I was hooked!!! The '70s were really the birth of modern reggae, which came out of R&B, Rock Steady, and Ska. Coming out of the same neighborhodd in Kingston as Marley and Macin(Tosh), Winston Rodney, The Burning Spear, had the same class sensiblities and realization of the power of Rastafarianism and the struggles of the downtrodden in Jamaica and elsewhere. The sounds has really changed over the years and this is where it started. A must have for any real reggae fan. Slavery days says it all....
