soundscapes in Reggae, Reissue

This record is a bonafide reggae classic. Junior Murvin has a beautiful and bizarre falsetto singing voice, and it is backed here by some of Lee Perry's darkest and deepest production. Recorded towards the end of Perry's highly productive stint at the Black Ark, this album (alongside The Congos' Heart Of The Congos and Max Romeo's War Inna Babylon) stands as one of the high-water marks for vocal roots reggae. This Deluxe Edition is supplemented by several dubs and disco mixes, some of which are available on CD for the first time. Truly essential listening.
