Of curse of curse, but the point is that he want the album and think maybe that its a murder album!
Im ok with you for say that its one of the best Ariwa lp too...

in your guys opinion whats a MURDER album ...as far as roots?

A album where evrybody agree that its one of the best... Often a classic.
(And this Sergent Pepper are not one who make everybody crazy, just a good+ one)
AH, here a point who will maybe help you: i think nobody have this album for favorite, for the ones who have already lot of great classics...

sgt. pepper is murder !! one of my fav. albums !!
"Judgement daaayyy, is on it's way...."

At the time the album was released (1983) I just started buying reggae albums myself. I heard "Time a Go Dread" on a local radiostation and I thought it was a murder-tune. Though in 1983 we didn't exactly use this phrase, I think we just said it was a 'really great tune'.
The radiostation didn;t mention the artist and I only found out years later that this was Sgt Pepper.
If only I knew that back then, I would have definitely bought the album.'
Of course, not everybody has to agree whether it's a good or bad album. But for me this album is a 'classic' (for sentimental reasons).
I have a great deal of 'classic-roots-murder-or-whatever' albums and this album is certainly one for my wantlist.

Well, if you have sentimental reasons thats normal too...
For answer of your first question Dj Bdr:
To me the album with Jah Shaka is better (cause only 5 songs but 5 greats), the best tune of both albums are "judgement day" on judgement day album, but very close with my favs jah shaka album tunes as "i've got a joy" or "jah jah a martial", and the others great tunes on judgement days are less goods that the others jah shaka ones plus 3 easy and pretty flat ones at end...
lol, good luck man!

well thanks to everybody who helped out ...now all i need is someone who is willing to sell me this album for a reasonable price...blessings
