Description
RE-PRESS: CD ORIGINALLY RELEASED IN 2018
Arguably the greatest Jamaican vocal group to emerge on the reggae scene during the latter half of the 70s, the Joseph Hill-led trio Culture wrote and performed some of the finest roots music of the era, initially making their mark with producer Joe Gibbs before joining the revered roster of Sonia Pottinger’s High Note Records.
The first two discs of this long overdue triple CD set collect the ‘A’ and ‘B’ sides of all the group’s Jamaican 7” and 12” High Note singles, with disc three comprising rare and previously unreleased 12” mixes from the vaults.
Featuring some of the finest roots reggae recordings of the late 70s, this collection superbly demonstrates why Culture remain held in such high esteem by reggae aficionados, and with 20 tracks new to CD and five previously unissued, will even satisfy the exacting demands of the group’s long-standing fans.
