Prophetic, inspiring and life affirming reggae music that is good for your soul. This is roots reggae of the highest order and it just oozes soul and heartfelt passion. This special anniversary edition is a particularly great bargain as you get the awesome dub versions of all the songs from the legendary 'Marcus Garvey' album, entitled 'Garvey's Ghost' which is a tremendous dub album in itself. One of the best reggae albums (or any music album for that matter) of all time.
