The Congos - Heart Of The Congos - Absolute Classic New & Sealed Reggae LP - Ships Fast!!!
Heart of the Congos is a roots reggae album by the Congos, produced by Lee "Scratch" Perry at his Black Ark studio with a studio band including Boris Gardiner on bass and Ernest Ranglin on guitar. The album was first released in 1977. It is noted as being one of Perry's masterpiece productions of the Black Ark era. The first issue of the LP in Jamaica was a very limited release said to consist of only several hundred copies.
Steve Barrow and Peter Dalton called Heart of the Congos "the most completely successful of all the albums recorded at the Black Ark," and "one of the prime examples of Jamaican vocal technique" due to the dynamic combination of Cedric Myton’s falsetto lead vocals, Roy "Ashanti" Johnson’s tenor lead vocals and backing vocals by noted singers such as Gregory Isaacs and members of the Meditations and the Heptones. The album was listed in the 1999 book The Rough Guide: Reggae: 100 Essential Albums.
Pitchfork ranked the record at No. 46 on its "Top 100 Albums of the 1970s".
The NME ranked the album at 99 in its 2003 list of the "100 Best Albums of All Time".
If you are a fan of reggae vinyl and don't have a copy of this record, you may as well throw out your turntable. Highly recommended!
