Details

Description

Ohhh the Jolly Brothers :) i got this album in the early 90s when the internet and the mp3 sharing got its first peek , not many people in Sweden had heard this album at that time , i was really hooked on the BLACK ARK and all Perrys productions.

I listen to Reggae for about 20 years and the first 2 years it was all rocksteady early reggae and dub , mostly Yabby U productions , Lee Perry Productions , King Tubby dubs , the Gladiators , Linval Thompson , Meditations , Wayne Wade , Barry Brown , Johnny Clarke , Jacob Miller, Augustus Pablo and some little Sizzla, Anthony B ,Caplelton , Eek A Mouse John Holt Barrington Levy.

Then i was hooked on the Black Ark for about 6years or soONLY BLACK ARK EVERY DAY!!! , starting to get all the albums on eBay , searching the site smookeyroom to get the names and Black Ark recorded tunes.

hmmm anyway , i rank the black ark albums that where made in the "GOLDEN YEARS" (75-78) the peek of the ark as very very high on a top 10 list of all reggae made.


The JOLLY BROTHERS - CONSCIOUS MAN 77-78
was made very fast , in a week or so , but it is so heavy ROOTS REGGAE LOVERS SUFFERING KILLER REGGAE

THIS ONE MIXED BY KING TUBBY




SOME OTHER THINGS ABOUT THE BLACK ARK STUDIO.....


Sure as many other i put The Congos - Heart Of The Congos at the top and not long after it, or in the same class I put

Heptones - Party Time publish at early 1977 time for the golden years fro The Black Ark



those ones are MONSTER ROOTS REGGAE

Booth Max Romeo - War Ina Babylon Sipple Oufrom 75-76 and
Max Romeos- Revolation Time from 74-75
are strong strong roots albums

I think George Faith - Super Eight or To Be a Lover1977 is very underrated , its a TOP TOP lovers album way before its time...

The two TOP DJ Albums ,

Jah Lion - Colombia Collie - 1975 -76

Prince Jazzbo - Natty Passing Thru - 1975 -76
