Editorial Reviews

Currently unavailable in the U.S., this 1977 release was the most 'Pop' oriented of their albums, originally issued when American interest in Reggae was at it's peak. Although more commercial than their fans and critics alike were expecting, this album contains some of their best loved tracks. Includes 'Human Market Place', 'Third World Man' and the title track. Universal. --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

Anyone who knows good reggae already has this album. 96 Degrees is one of the most definitive examples of roots reggae ever produced. It is timeless. The rhythms are dynamite and the lyrics are unforgettable. Remarkably, Third World still tours - so catch them if you can.

This classic roots reggae CD is a must for any serious lover of
reggae. This is for me the best piece of music that Third World has ever put out. You cannot go wrong with this.
