Description

original Jamaican reggae album produced by T. Bow: Sons Of Jah UNIVERSAL MESSAGE (Natty Congo records)

SONS OF JAH
UNIVERSAL MESSAGE
with Aston, Carlton Barrett & Wire

All killer no filler truths and rights tracks with Sons Of Jah backed by The Wailers' Wire, Family Man & Carly Barrett providing the much needed UNIVERSAL MESSAGE. Ijahman, Earl Sixteen, Mikey Dread, The Mighty Diamonds, Richie McDonald & Ruddy Thomas also contribute. Recorded in part at Bob Marley's Tuff Gong Studio. Released on the excellent Natty Congo label in 1982 as its first album (Numbered 001). T. Bow and the boys big up the consciousness non-stop with tracks like "Humanity", "Working People", "Look Mankind", "Breaking Down The Barriers", "Might Can't Conquer Right" and many more. Full lyrics printed on the back jkacket. The right had just taken control of Babylon in the UK and USA and The Sons Of Jah responded correspondingly. Thatcher and Reagan watch out. The half that's never been told can't be denied and some 25 years later the reaction to the reactionaries is just beginning. It's time once again for the Universal Message. Selah.

To hear the crucial selection "Breaking Down The Barriers" please go to midnightdread.com now. It plays automatically there.

The ORIGINAL Natty Congo UK vinyl is in near mint condition with no skips, no warp, no surface noise, no scratch. The cover is in VG+ shape with no split seams or bent corners, a few splotches on back jacket due to age. A real gem of a recording. See my other current auctions for more unusual reggae albums & singles this week on eBay.
