CONDITION DETAILS Vinyl plays with occasional crackles (play-graded). Cover looks great; a few creases near edges; light-scuffing, and surface impressions (front/back); discoloration spots on back. Inner-sleeve is original (Elektra ads); seams split or partially split. Spine is mostly easy-to-read with wear and split near center. Minor shelf-wear along top/bottom-edge; some wear to corners. Opening is crisp with signs of light use and divots. Red label. (Not a cut-out.)

ABOUT THE RECORD Although the group's first three albums are generally considered their finest, there is a very strong case to be made for including Steel Pulse's Elektra debut in their core collection as well. Where Reggae Fever had found the band moving from hardcore Rasta politics into lover's rock and party anthems, True Democracy marks a return to more ideological subject matter; the cover art, which shows singer David Hinds reading the Bible to his rapt bandmates, is a dead giveaway. Their sound might be a little bit slicker than before, but it's also harder and the lyrics less compromising -- Leggo Beast denounces adultery over a stripped-down one-drop beat; Man No Sober inveighs against drunkenness; A Who Responsible? uses a dour trombone line to call down judgment on Babylon. But the mood is lightened somewhat by Your House, a gorgeous love song, and by the exalted Chant a Psalm. This is one of Steel Pulse's most satisfying and fully realized albums. The album peaked at No. 120 on the Billboard 200.
