Burning Spear

[Josh]

Hello

I`ve recently been introduced to the music of Buning Spear by way og the Marcus Garvey album wgich I really liked.

On the back of this I have today ordered 3 of his albums

Social Living
Spear Burning
Man in the Hills/Dry and Heavy

Can somebody please tell me if these were the right albums to follow up with as he appears to have quite a lot so I went for some of his earlier recordings.

Are they good ?

Thanks

Josh

social living is still my favourite spear album

[Fabroots]

Yeah, Man in the hill is not so good, look for hail him/social living/farover, my 3 fav Burning Spear, murders! ("resistance" is giant too, but the sound is digital in part)

also check on studio one:
- rocking time
- burnings spear
...

as well as living dub vol. 1

Buy the Heartbeat dblp Creation Rebel.
Burning Spear Studio One recordings.
And forget the St1 lp Rocking Time and Presenting.
You get the best of both albums on Heartbeat.
Plus Spear Burning on Pressure sound DBlp.

According to me "Man in the hills" is one of the best burning spear albums
i ve got all the spear collection, but the best album is "hail HIM", but its my point of view

I like his live stuff,i think to hear winston rodney live is the best way.Dont know any names off hand,i just keep watchin this video i have of him in late 70s over and over.
