Sure I don't see myself playing this one much at all - but maybe that's because it makes such an impression after one listen! Three giants collaborate - Trinity, Yabby You and King Tubby and the results are obviously amazing. Just listen to "Di Gun Gun Fever" - it's only five minutes long but Trinity's transcendent toasting (how's that for alliteration?) is so captivating it seems to go on forever! Yabby You supplies the rootsy-as-fuck riddims, some of which are taken from the legendary Conquering Lion LP. "Black Starliner" is an incredibly interesting song because it shows Yabby doubting the black nationalist dream of repatriation - I guess this guy had a lot more depth than the competition!
Unfairly overlooked gem! Don't let the naff cover art, probably made in three minutes on Microsoft Word, fool you! -HorseMouth
