[mick d]

johnny osbourne is the lead singer, no?

[fadel diagne]

oh i really don't think so
i really wonder whether they are jamaicans from yard

[ahwhoseh]

I heard that in the 70's some time J Osbourne moved to Canada were he sang lead for the two albums.

[mick d]

yeah, they are a Canadian group. the second album listed in these archives credits vocals among others to Johnny Osbourne. I read that he moved to Canada to join Ishan People in some liner notes, maybe Truth and Rights.

crucial canadian band & album roms...& it really worth to be checked

[roms77]

Yes Collieman, its a nice band i checked it and won't be disapointed !
On the reggae sun album, johnny osbourne sang 4 songs.
"Inflation " is also on a johnny osbourn album called "warrior" but it's a different version.

[bwoyrough]

Reggae Sun is the same album as the Ishan People Album not sure why they have different names, maybe re-released, they also did an album called Roots. All worth checking, pretty good band.

The song "your money or your life" in "roots" album is giant!
