Home / Reggae & Dub / Marcus Garvey
Hypnotic, deeply spiritual roots reggae built on Winston Rodney's incantatory vocals and heavy rhythm. Meditative and powerful. A roots cornerstone. Released in 1975, it's an early landmark for Burning Spear.
On vinyl: Vintage copies and modern reissues both circulate — worth comparing condition and remaster notes before you buy.
