This new edition is released as a one-off purple CD and a one-off pressing purple vinyl double album. Sleeve design also comes as a new purple version. Fully remastered and with the inclusion of two bonus rare single-only tracks, full sleevenotes, exclusive photographs and interview. Count Ossie is the central character in the development of Rastafarian roots music, nowadays an almost mythical and iconic figure. His importance in bringing Rastafarian music to a populist audience is matched only by Bob Marley’s promotion of the faith internationally in the 1970s. Count Ossie’s drummers performed on the first commercially released single to integrate Rastafarian traditional music with popular music: the vocal group The Folkes Brothers’ groundbreaking song ‘Oh Carolina’, recorded for producer Prince Buster in 1959. In 1966 his drummers greeted the momentous arrival of Haile Selassie at Kingston airport. His legendary jam sessions up in his Rastafarian compound in the hills of Wareika, Kingston, are famous for the many Jamaican musicians who attended including The Skatalites players – Roland Alphonso, Don Drummond, Johnny Moore, Lloyd Knibbs – and many others. The Mystic Revelation of Rastafari formed in Kingston, Jamaica, in 1970, a union of Count Ossie’s Rastafarian drummers – variously known as his African Drums, Wareikas or his Afro-Combo – and the saxophonist Cedric Im Brooks’ horns group, The Mystics. The Mystic Revelation of Rastafari are the defining group in bringing authentic Rastafarian rhythms into the collective consciousness of popular music, their unique music is at once rooted in the deep traditions and rituals of traditional drumming and chanting alongside a forward-thinking, even avant-garde, artistry influenced by the likes of John Coltrane, Sun Ra, Pharoah Sanders and other pioneering African-American jazz artists radicalised and charged by the civil rights movement of the 1960s. “It’s a groundbreaking, majestic work, by turns righteous in tone and joyous in execution. It’s the sound of Ossie and his ensemble narrating a history lesson and you’d be daft not to want to find out more.” – Irish Times “The Mystic Revelation of Rastafari has legendary status” – New York Times “Helped establish Rastafari culture through music.” – The Wire Artist Count Ossie & The Mystic Revelation of Rastafari Genre Reggae / Dub / Ska Label Soul Jazz Buying Options 2LP Coloured Vinyl Format 2LP , Coloured Vinyl Condition New Country UK Track Listings Sam's Intro Tales of Mozambique Selam Nna Wadada (Peace and Love) No Night In Zion I Am A Warrior Wicked Babylon Let Freedom Reign Lock, Stock & Barrell Nigerian Reggae Run One Mil Rasta Reggae Samia Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Reggae / Dub / Ska View Product Quick View Aswad New Chapter Of Dub Reggae / Dub / Ska | Back To Black | 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 16th July 2013 £14.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Aswad New Chapter Of Dub £14.00 Genre: Reggae / Dub / Ska Label: Back To Black SKU: 5342977 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 16th July 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Bob Marley & The Wailers Exodus Reggae / Dub / Ska | Island | 1LP Released 1st June 2019 £15.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Bob Marley & The Wailers Exodus £15.00 Genre: Reggae / Dub / Ska Label: Island SKU: nn181408 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 1st June 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View African Head Charge Return Of The Crocodile Reggae / Dub / Ska | On U Sound | 1LP Released 25th November 2016 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders African Head Charge Return Of The Crocodile £18.00 Genre: Reggae / Dub / Ska Label: On U Sound SKU: ONULP133 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 25th November 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Heptones, The Cool Rasta Reggae / Dub / Ska | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 1LP Released 5th April 2024 £28.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Heptones, The Cool Rasta £28.00 Genre: Reggae / Dub / Ska Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP3699C Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 5th April 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Bob Marley & The Wailers Confrontation (Half-Speed Master) Reggae / Dub / Ska | Abbey Road Half Speed | 180g, 1LP Released 20th November 2020 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Bob Marley & The Wailers Confrontation (Half-Speed Master) £26.00 Genre: Reggae / Dub / Ska Label: Abbey Road Half Speed SKU: 3508225 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 20th November 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Eek-A-Mouse WA-DO-DEM Reggae / Dub / Ska | Greensleeves | 1LP Released 2nd February 2024 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Eek-A-Mouse WA-DO-DEM £17.00 Genre: Reggae / Dub / Ska Label: Greensleeves SKU: GREL31 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 2nd February 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Tommy McCook & The Supersonics Pleasure Dub Reggae / Dub / Ska | Pressure Sounds | 1LP Released 23rd November 2012 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Tommy McCook & The Supersonics Pleasure Dub £16.00 Genre: Reggae / Dub / Ska Label: Pressure Sounds SKU: PSLP0063 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 23rd November 2012 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Brown Sugar I’m In Love With A Dreadlocks Reggae / Dub / Ska | Soul Jazz | 12", Single Released 28th October 2022 £15.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Brown Sugar I’m In Love With A Dreadlocks £15.00 Genre: Reggae / Dub / Ska Label: Soul Jazz SKU: SJR500-12 Formats: 12", Single Released Date: 28th October 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Beat, The (The English Beat) I Just Can’t Stop It Reggae / Dub / Ska | Rhino (Pure) | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 5th January 2024 £30.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Beat, The (The English Beat) I Just Can’t Stop It £30.00 Genre: Reggae / Dub / Ska Label: Rhino (Pure) SKU: 0603497828470 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 5th January 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Various Artists Original Vintage Reggae Classics Reggae / Dub / Ska | BMG Records | 1LP Released 18th November 2016 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Various Artists Original Vintage Reggae Classics £20.00 Genre: Reggae / Dub / Ska Label: BMG Records SKU: 4050538211436 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 18th November 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Reggae / Dub / Ska Start again
