Culture - Two Sevens Clash

Having a dig in the boxes of CDs for a bit of a change this week.

I rinsed my sister's copy of this LP in the seventies. Interesting how an album, so deeply roots, and dealing with Rasta doomsday prophesy and the like, could appeal so deeply to a 13 year old boy on a Romford council estate. It remains probably my favourite reggae album, from what was a golden age for reggae.

Joe Gibbs and Errol Thompson at the controls, Sly Dunbar, Robbie Shakespeare (on guitar for a change), Tommy McCook...some heavy hitters right there.

This is the 1988 reissue, with the running order fucked around with and shittified artwork.

I found an original copy of the LP in a $5 box once, but it had a fucking great scratch across one side.

I've been trying to work out how I can get them out of boxes in the shed and back into the house. I really enjoyed playing them yesterday. I don't play digital music files anymore, so they've kind of become useful again.

Thats great! We use to have ours in a bookcase in the spare room. Now they are scattered in boxes and some in the spare room. It's a pain. David still uses some for radio. All the kids are buying cds at the moment.
