Description
Mr. Spaulding aka Renford Ferguson from Clarendon Jamaica, recorded his only album at the age of 19, the masterful, 'The Twelve Tribe Of Israel'. Recorded at Aquarius Studios, in Half-Way-Tree, Kingston, Jamaica and released in 1983 on the Roots Rockers label, this is an almost exclusive excursion in voice, drum and bass with only the faintest hint of guitar and discordant organ.
This is an album of pure minimalist reggae with deep dancehall sensibilities.
Containing an amalgamation of UK and Jamaica recorded rhythms, the 'Twelve Tribe' album has some of the lowest bass frequencies this side of Western Kingston.
A graduate of the King Stur Gav sound system Spauldings fine vocals suggest a talent that should have become much bigger, but its never too late and now its his time to eat food.
With most of his catalogue now increasingly hard to find and demanding high prices this is the first time any of Mr. Spauldings material has been reissued and includes almost everything he ever recorded.
