Extremely hyped roots album. It's quite good but the best thing about it in my opinion is the photo of the dude on the back of the sleeve. Stylish.

Stylish!!!?? Absolutely out of place, imho.
I played that album the other day for a friend, who knew nothing about this band, and he pretty liked it until he saw that back cover photo.

Kalcidis- thanks for your thoughts on the album, I'm now contemplating where to draw that unclear line of "does this really need to be in the collection?", never easy.

Satta- If I had a nickel for every bizarre pose/low-budge photo used on a reggae album...

Ronnie Davis - You Are The Fool - On Top 7"

So what IS on the back cover? I'm curious now.

This great photo! It's just brilliant. Funny and cool.

He he thanks for uploading. Indeed, absolutly stylish photo. How can anyone not like it? It's funny and entertaining.

Didn't say I don't like it... just it's imho out of place, given the militant approach of the front cover pics, and the music itself.

Not big deal, anyway, but saying the back cover pic is the BEST of this great LP.... uhmmm..

Not that militant approach on the front sleeve though? Seven guys running around and playing/posing in a park. The centre photo even has an unrelated guy with a grocery bag to the left watching these dreads trying to catch up the camera man. Ha ha ha. It actually is quite a bizarre and funny sleeve.
