Earl Sixteen: Soldier of Jah Army

Earl Sixteen: Soldier of Jah Army

This is a record that was MIA for me for many years, an early 21st Century compilation of Earl Sixteen sides from the 1970s. 

All the greats take their turn at the controls: Lee Perry, Augustus Pablo, Jah Screw, Mikey Dread...

All in all, fifteen tracks, ranging from most of Earl's early hits ("Malcolm X" and "Freedom"), various dubs and other tracks.

Earl has done the re-record thing to a lot of his tracks in recent years but these are the original sides. Crucial reggae from the Golden Age.
