Home / Reggae & Dub / Red
Tight, heavy roots reggae powered by the Sly and Robbie rhythm section. Their most acclaimed record. A rockers cornerstone. The further you go into Black Uhuru's catalogue, the more this one rewards.
On vinyl: '80s originals are plentiful and usually affordable; reissues tend to be cleaner but pricier.
