Does this one really have Black Ark connection?

No

The back of my copy says "recorded at Randy's, King Tubbys and Black Ark Studios; Jamaica" so I think it does...

Thanks, Ron

True. I'm still trying to get back all that money I wired to Nigeria...

I love Jah Woosh but must admit I never bothered to check this album. What kind of vibe does it have? I really enjoy Gathering Israel which I think must be the best album I've heard so far with Woosh. It must be the focus on marijuana that has turned me off from checking the world tour set.

its nowhere near gathering israel. in fact i find it very mediocre despite claiming that "creation rebel" is the backing band. i find that kind of doubtful too; dont sound like creation rebel of on-u fame to me.

This album has absolutely nothing to do with the musicians from Creation Rebel.
On first release the label was named likewise and it's stated to be produced by Rebel Creations which means nothing more or less that it has been produced by Mr.Neville Beckford (aka Jah Woosh) by himself and he found someone in the UK who gave him the money to put it out on his own imprint (being the one and only release on that label anyway).

it says "CREATION REBEL" not "rebel creations" on my copy and as far as i know it was the first release and im pretty darn sure any further releases had exactly the same artwork and liner notes. and i was told it indeed was *the* creation rebel backing woosh on it though like i said it doesnt sound like it...more like revolutionaires or someone like that.

anyway, very boring album if you ask me. most other woosh releases are much better.

best jah woosh album maybe "Psalms of wisdom" or "Jah Jah dey dey" btw ..... i like his "cool" toasting style compared to "criers" ....
