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 King Tubby & Aggrovators Dubbing in the Back Yard Reggae / Dub / Ska | Pressure Sounds | 1LP Released 25th May 2017 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders King Tubby & Aggrovators Dubbing in the Back Yard £16.00 Genre: Reggae / Dub / Ska Label: Pressure Sounds SKU: PSLP0094 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 25th May 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Viceroys, The YA HO Reggae / Dub / Ska | Burning Sounds | 180g, 1LP Released 16th August 2024 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Viceroys, The YA HO £20.00 Genre: Reggae / Dub / Ska Label: Burning Sounds SKU: BSRLP834 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 16th August 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Desmond Dekker The King Of Ska Reggae / Dub / Ska | Sunrise | 180g, 1LP Released 17th March 2014 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Desmond Dekker The King Of Ska £17.00 Genre: Reggae / Dub / Ska Label: Sunrise SKU: SUNRLP016 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 17th March 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Various Artists / Soul Jazz Records Presents Harmony, Melody & Style Volume 2 Reggae / Dub / Ska | Soul Jazz | 180g, 2LP Released 26th March 2012 £14.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Various Artists / Soul Jazz Records Presents Harmony, Melody & Style Volume 2 £14.00 Genre: Reggae / Dub / Ska Label: Soul Jazz SKU: SJRLP2532 Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 26th March 2012 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View SOJA Beauty In The Silence Reggae / Dub / Ska | ATO | 1LP Released 24th September 2021 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders SOJA Beauty In The Silence £19.00 Genre: Reggae / Dub / Ska Label: ATO SKU: ATO0583LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 24th September 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Specials, The The Specials – National Album Day 2024 Reggae / Dub / Ska | Chrysalis | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 19th October 2024 £25.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Specials, The The Specials – National Album Day 2024 £25.00 Genre: Reggae / Dub / Ska Label: Chrysalis SKU: CDLTTC5001 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 19th October 2024 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Kool Roots Earth & Stone Reggae / Dub / Ska | Pressure Sounds | 2LP Released 23rd November 2012 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Kool Roots Earth & Stone £17.00 Genre: Reggae / Dub / Ska Label: Pressure Sounds SKU: PSLP0011 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 23rd November 2012 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Mystic Revealers Crucial Cuts Reggae / Dub / Ska | VP Records | 1LP Released 19th January 2015 £9.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mystic Revealers Crucial Cuts £9.00 Genre: Reggae / Dub / Ska Label: VP Records SKU: VPRL2497 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 19th January 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry Heaven Reggae / Dub / Ska | Burning Sounds | 180g, 1LP Released 27th October 2023 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry Heaven £18.00 Genre: Reggae / Dub / Ska Label: Burning Sounds SKU: BSRLP840 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 27th October 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Dread Zeppelin Dejah Voodoo Reggae / Dub / Ska | Lilith | 180g, 1LP, Includes CD Released 21st May 2013 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Dread Zeppelin Dejah Voodoo £20.00 Genre: Reggae / Dub / Ska Label: Lilith SKU: LR357LP Formats: 180g, 1LP, Includes CD Released Date: 21st May 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Reggae / Dub / Ska Start again
