Synopsis

Product Description
Burning Spear's Marcus Garvey, the classic Island Records debut, paired with Garvey's Ghost, its spacious dub mix companion revisited and remastered for its 35th anniversary. Burning Spear brought a unique voice and sound to the dynamically expanding world of reggae in the 1970s. A tribute to the Black self-determinationalist, Burning Spear's Island Records debut, Marcus Garvey, features tense, poignant, dense rhythms, marked with mournful horn lines, atop which Spear's tortured, jazz-like wail soars.Remastered from the analog tapes, Marcus Garvey is as powerfully and beautifully haunting as it was when it was released. The breathtaking packaging features an extensive essay based on conversations with drummer Horsemouth Wallace, Culture's Joseph Hill and deejay Big Youth. As a bonus, the original 1975 album is paired with 1976's companion Garvey's Ghost. Remixed by a pair of Island Records staff engineers, Garvey's Ghost introduced the Jamaican dub art form--and, by extension, the remix--to the world stage.
