    It took me a while to warm up to this record. But I did (listening on Spotify) and eventually knew I had to own it on vinyl. Found a deal on eBay and she's mine. Wonderful pressing. Incredible record. What more is there to say? An absolute must-have for dub heads.

      Incredible atmosphere, genius at the controls, take a breath, open your mind and listen to this great master piece of roots music, big up to Lee Perry and all these nice musicians. A must have for all Perry lovers and for the new generations who are interested in reggae music.
