StandardBlack Slavery Days – Roots Reggae Compilation
StandardThe compilation Black Slavery Days is a prime example of some of the brilliant material coming out of Jamaican studios in the middle of the seventies. Recorded The Sound of Saint Anns studio in Northern Jamaica in 1975 and released in 1980 on New York’s Clappers label, this album showcases timeless productions from the one-and-only Jack Ruby paired with heartical vocals from the likes of The Arrows, The Original Survivors, and the Skulls. Each track features an infective rhythm section, crisp horn lines, and memorable lyrical performances, complimented by skillful dubs from The Clappers All Stars, and T.S.O.S.A.
