Surely this is music-making of any kind at its most inspired. Recorded in 1975 in London's Gooseberry Studios by Dennis Harris, Ijahman Levi -- aka Trevor Sutherland -- remembers his unscripted performance "pouring out from inside." Maybe the short spell he'd just spent in jail has to do with it. This is the original, way superior version of a song later recut for his Island debut Hail I Hymn Chapter 1. The dub, too, is breathtakingly powerful -- a Shaka special.
