CONDITION DETAILS Vinyl plays with some crackles and a few light-clicks (play-graded). Gate-fold cover looks great; a few creases near edges; moderate scuffing, discoloration spots, and surface impressions (front/back/inner-gate). Inner-sleeve is original (generic white). Spine is mostly easy-to-read with mild-wear. Shelf-wear along top/bottom-edge and corners. Opening is crisp with signs of light use and divots. (Not a cut-out.)

ABOUT THE RECORD Steel Pulse's debut album set the band decisively apart from its British colleagues. This was not, by any stretch of the imagination, either pop-reggae or lovers rock. Nor was it the kind of dreamy Rasta reggae or art-for-art's sake dub that was popular at the time. Though the subtly jazzy swing that would later become explicit was already informing Steel Pulse's groove, the band's first album seemed not at all interested in generating anything like a party atmosphere. Handsworth Revolution is about politics first and religion second, with a quick nod to the dance (Sound System) and another to the herb (Macka Splaff) and not a single love lyric to be found anywhere. This gives the music a certain intellectual urgency, and the band's instrumental virtuosity is impressive.
