This is my favorite Culture album and one of my favorites of any artist or genre. The only thing I could fault is some of the sound quality is sub-par on a few songs, but this is not unusual for some of the older reggae albums. The music, all heartfelt and deeply spiritual, is backed up by the Joseph Hill's powerful lyrics. Songs like "Too Long In Slavery", "Children of Israel", "Trod On", and "Black Rose" are genuine rasta anthems and the balance of the songs are all fine examples of Jamaican roots reggae...making this an absolutely essential addition to any reggae collection.

Six of these nine tracks dubbed by Errol Brown at Treasure Isle. Chris Wilson remixed tracks 1, 3, and 6. Every track is excellent, and extended. There's almost 70 min of music on here!

Garvey is probably better known as "Down in Jamiaca", and is, in my opinion, the best discomix on this release. Dog a Nyam Dog is a close second however. The title track boasts a competent DJ toast by Joseph Hill himself.

Note that if you have already bought "Trod On", you will hear considerable track duplication here...

great songs. great playing and singing. great production: the dubs start right when the songs proper end! this is DEEP reggae, man! the first song, too long in slavery, is outstanding! i can't belive no-one else has sung the praises of this album yet!!!!????? that's crazy to I!

This is another Culture album that's better than the more widely acknowledged Two Sevens Clash, even if each song wasn't a blend of my two favorite Reggae sub-genres, roots and dub.

an album which has helped me through the darkest nights

i could write on all night about this amazing production something or other
