Lucky to pick up a promo that doesn’t appear to have been played. Essential, great sound and press. -
Edited one year agoVery good quality original UK Press with beautiful textured sleeve (by Tony Wright) & printed lyrics, sound really good. We can find it for 25 euros... Perfect ! No need no Reissue -

Ten-Minute Record Reviews has a video review of this album here: https://youtu.be/q0GrLdC5CIo -
It’s all about Chapter 2
It’s the mix/version you’ll probably hear on YouTube has the electric guitar in second track on side A.
Chapter 2 - ✌️ -
Fantastic record! The prominent electric guitar in the mix (Del Richardson of Osibisa) and lengthy arrangements make this an untypical but extremely enjoyable roots reggae record. Ijahman's voice sounds frail and sincere - when he sings of his hardship, everybody can relate. -
Really folk reggae. Suitable voice . Great bass from loyd parks and robbie.its gospel in own respect.evergreen classic legend that still unknown ijahman levi. friend of bob marley.Jesus Christ is same

Edited 8 years agoI'm a levi, comfortably the greatest roots vocal of all time. What a tune !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
