Tight, heavy roots reggae powered by the Sly and Robbie rhythm section. Their most acclaimed record. A rockers cornerstone. Released in 1981, it's the kind of later record that serious fans treasure.
On vinyl: Many '80s records have had strong reissue programmes — check for a recently mastered version.
