As well as providing harmonies, Leroy Sibbles also played bass on this.

Declaration Of Rights has been covered many times over the years by Johnny Clarke, Dennis Brown, Mighty Diamonds etc.

Happy 78th birthday to Bernard Collins of The Abyssinians.

Bernard recorded this legendary 7" at Studio 1 in 1971 without his fellow Abyssinians, but with Leroy Sibbles and George Henry providing the beautiful harmonies...

Big Youth sings, chants and talks his way through Keep Your Dread.

Released in 1975, this is deep cultural teaching over a bass heavy dub of the Artibella rhythm...

Remembering Peter Tosh who was born on this day in 1944.

After leaving The Wailers in 1973, Peter released a series of 7"s on his Intel-Diplo label which led to his debut LP in '76. This one became the title track.
