Various: Boston Roots Reggae:1979 to 1988-Take Us Home, 2LP+Booklet (Cultures Of Soul) New!
Boston‐based music journalists/historians Noah Schaffer and Uchenna Ikonne have teamed up with Cultures of Soul to compile an overview of some of the most crucial cuts to emerge from Boston during the height of the reggae boom in the 1980s. Formatted on CD or 2LP set both configurations come with a 28‐page book documenting the rich history of this music scene with in‐depth analyses and photos of the reggae artists involved.
Almost all of this music is reissued for the very first time,
including rare gems such as Danny Tucker’s “Our Father’s Land,” Zion
Initation’s “Think About It,” I Tones’ “Love is a Pleasure” and
Lambsbread’s “Two Minute Warning” are sure to delight both roots
connoisseurs and newcomers to the genre, and open up a time tunnel to a
little‐known golden age of American reggae, and an even less‐known scene
that facilitated the expansion of the music into an international
phenomenon.
