The Congos - Heart Of The Congos - New and Sealed Vinyl Record - Fast Shipping!
Heart of the Congos is a roots reggae album by The Congos, produced by Lee "Scratch" Perry at his Black Ark studio with a studio band including Boris Gardiner on bass and Ernest Ranglin on guitar. The album was first released in 1977. It is noted as being one of Perry's masterpiece productions of the Black Ark era.
The first issue of the LP in Jamaica was a very limited release said to consist of only several hundred copies. It was remastered using the original Black Ark quarter inch master tapes with the exception of 'At The Feast' and re-released in 1996 on the Blood & Fire label, run by Steve Barrow, T Elwing, and Mick Hucknall, with assistance on the ground provided by Andrea Lewis (Jamaica). The original mix of the album was not officially re-issued on either LP or CD until 2017's 40th Anniversary Edition (although an 'unofficial' CD release, sourced from the original LP, was released in 2004 by CORN-FED Productions, based in Amsterdam). Until 2017, all editions subsequent to the first Jamaica release feature a second, substantially different, mix by Lee Perry. The 40th Anniversary Edition includes both mixes of the album, as well as ten bonus tracks.
The album was listed in the 1999 book The Rough Guide: Reggae: 100 Essential CDs.
Pitchfork Media ranked the record at #46 on its "Top 100 Albums of the 1970s".

A1  Fisherman A2  Congoman A3  Open Up The Gate A4  Children Crying A5  La La Bam-Bam B1  Can't Come In B2  Sodom & Gomorrow B3  The Wrong Thing B4  Ark Of Covenant B5  Solid Foundation
This is a great sounding pressing, and well worth adding to your collection even to just have "Fisherman" on vinyl, just as it was intended to be heard.
