Reviews & Discussion
One of the finest album covers & pieces of artwork for an LP ever! And that genius Lee 'Scratch' Perry is at the forefront of this all time classic Reggae album again, accompanied by Max Romeo's searing vocals. Just check 'One Step Forward', 'War Inna Babylon' & 'Chase The Devil' for some stunning roots action & three of the best pieces of reggae ever.
