Description

If you dig Linton Kwesi Johnson and Mutabaruka check this album. Heavy heavy roots & poems! Riddim tracks are very much alike Linton's, which makes sense, since he produced it. The tune "Roots" must be one of the most extreme reggae tracks ever recorded. Dark and disturbing dub poetry, definitely not for the masses. Other highlights are "Gimme Little Dub Music" and "Black & White".This is his only album, sadly he was, under curious circumstances, murdered in the streets of Kingston after the release.

Vinyl is graded an EX-, lovely clean example with only faint signs of use


Cover grades VG+, no issues,  No rips




Grading System: In order to assist everyone who buys and sells rare discs, Record Collector magazine has originated a set of standards for the condition of second-hand records, I have added a (+) or (-) to my gradings where applicable.
MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.  EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.  VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable. GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc. FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced. POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing. BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.
