SPEAR - PEOPLE OF THE WORLD |
| When
he made this album in the mid 1980's,
Burning Spear could allready be seen as a
Roots Reggae veteran. Staying true to his
roots, and in the same time reaching out to
the people of the world. You can hear it in
the music! |

SPEAR - OUR MUSIC |

though they want it. Simply because, he
says, it is... our music! |

| CULTURE
- GOOD THINGS |
| Good
Things was released in the early days of the
Compact Disc. It had a few "bonus
tracks" that were not released on
vinyl. It's called Making Use Of Good
Things. Highly danceable, exctended tracks
and dubs. Everything in a live feel,
too. |

 |
| CULTURE
- PAYDAY |
| With
a DUB counterpart mixed by none other then
Scientist, this one becomes interesting for
DUB heads as well as appricilovers of Joseph
Hill's Culture. Culture stays loyal to the
Roots in message as well as music. |

| DON
CARLOS - DEEPLY CONCERNED |
| This
album was originally released in the late
1980's. The title track is about Apartheid
in South Africa. In this time, not too much
good Roots Reggae was released. This one is
an exception. |
