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

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
