"Prince Far I's Musical History was released in December 1983, just three months after the great 'Voice of Thunder' had been shot dead in his home in Jamaica. One of the top artists of the roots era, at the time of his death, the Prince was at the height of his career, having released his seminal single 'Heavy Manners', which spoke out against the new repressive laws that had been passed in an attempt stymie the wave of violence that was sweeping the island in late seventies. This single was tremendously popular with the ghetto youth who soon began rallying around Far I and the Rastafarian faith in massive numbers. He also had started his own Cry Tuff label and began releasing a slew of powerful singles, but this activity was cut short by Far I's untimely death. Musical History brings together the best of his latest material, including 'What You Gonna Do On Judgement Day' and 'I Don't Know Why I Love Jah So'."
