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 Ken Boothe Everything I Own Reggae / Dub / Ska | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 1LP Released 16th February 2024 £28.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Ken Boothe Everything I Own £28.00 Genre: Reggae / Dub / Ska Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP1943C Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 16th February 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Various Artists Soul Jazz Records Presents Studio One Women Vol. 2 Reggae / Dub / Ska | Soul Jazz | 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released 27th May 2022 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Various Artists Soul Jazz Records Presents Studio One Women Vol. 2 £26.00 Genre: Reggae / Dub / Ska Label: Soul Jazz SKU: SJRLP502 Formats: 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released Date: 27th May 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Macka B Health Is Wealth Reggae / Dub / Ska | Greensleeves | 1LP Released 20th August 2018 £11.99 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Macka B Health Is Wealth £11.99 Genre: Reggae / Dub / Ska Label: Greensleeves SKU: VPGS70611 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 20th August 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Various Artists Virgin Front Line Sounds Of Reality (Black History Month) Reggae / Dub / Ska | UMC | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 15th October 2021 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Various Artists Virgin Front Line Sounds Of Reality (Black History Month) £26.00 Genre: Reggae / Dub / Ska Label: UMC SKU: 3579331 Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 15th October 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Mr Spaulding Twelve Tribe Of Israel Anthology Reggae / Dub / Ska | Hot Milk | 2LP Released 10th July 2015 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mr Spaulding Twelve Tribe Of Israel Anthology £19.00 Genre: Reggae / Dub / Ska Label: Hot Milk SKU: MILKLP8 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 10th July 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Desmond Dekker And The Specials King Of Kings Reggae / Dub / Ska | Sunspot | 180g, 1LP Released 16th February 2015 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Desmond Dekker And The Specials King Of Kings £17.00 Genre: Reggae / Dub / Ska Label: Sunspot SKU: SUNSPLP018 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 16th February 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Linval Thompson & The Revolutionaries Boss Man’s Dub – The Lost 1979 Dub Album Reggae / Dub / Ska | Hot Milk | 1LP Released 30th June 2014 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Linval Thompson & The Revolutionaries Boss Man’s Dub – The Lost 1979 Dub Album £19.00 Genre: Reggae / Dub / Ska Label: Hot Milk SKU: MILKLP3 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 30th June 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Dreadzone Once Upon A Time Reggae / Dub / Ska | Dubwiser | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 3rd April 2020 £23.00 - £25.00 Select options Dreadzone Once Upon A Time £23.00 - £25.00 Genre: Reggae / Dub / Ska Label: Dubwiser Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 3rd April 2020 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Simpkin Project, The Beam Of Light Reggae / Dub / Ska | Dub Rockers | 1LP Released 29th September 2017 £13.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Simpkin Project, The Beam Of Light £13.00 Genre: Reggae / Dub / Ska Label: Dub Rockers SKU: 0054645256414 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 29th September 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry Rainford Reggae / Dub / Ska | On U Sound | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 31st May 2019 £19.00 Select options Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry Rainford £19.00 Genre: Reggae / Dub / Ska Label: On U Sound Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 31st May 2019 Read More Select options See more in Reggae / Dub / Ska Start again
