there, i've said it!
glad to get that off my chest...

[cover=8290,5252]

Why?

THAT cd goes along way in proving your point...fantastically listenable collection..

-

I've only actually heard Two Sevens Clash (the album) and Baldhead Bridge. What else did they do that's good?

they're in my top 10 for sure.

Funky Punk you should seek out Cumbolo next. released in 1979 and it contains some of their best work.

Also "International Herb". One of my favorites. Didn't like it at first though...

When I first heard this album, something about the production of the first track (which is the title track) put me off, and since I was a bit burned out on Culture anyway I didn't even bother to listen to the rest of the album. Well, I soon found out that my first impression was waaaaayyyy off. The whole album is killer. I can't even remember what I didn't like about the first track. Maybe the slide whistle. Anyway, this album is worth the purchase for the track "The Shepherd" alone.

Thanks to this messages now i know why.

'International Herb' is one of albums i carry wherever i'm going, simply because 'i never know when the craving will strike!'

Well for me the gladiators will stand first:

Listen the really good compilation: Studio One single

They did always played a really good music from rocksteady to actual roots reggae.

Culture was for sure a really good band with the albums you named before, but didn't produced as much hits or crucial songs as the gladiators.

Natty Dread Taking Over - My favorite Culture track
