Third World - Third World

RARE/2HAND VINYL LP ON ISLAND 1976.

Island ILPS 9369 made in UK.

Vinyl EX. Cover EX.

A remarkable debut from a band whose desire was to infuse reggae with other influences, continuing a direction in Jamaican music that was perhaps best expressed by artists along the lines of Count Ossie and Ras Michael and the Sons of Negus. Standout moments include "Sette Messgana," "Sun Won't Shine" and their loping cover of Burning Spear's "Slavery Days." A real rarity in Jamaican music of the period was a serious lead guitarist, which made "Cat" Coore's lead guitar breaks all the more startling in context. A brilliant debut. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_World_%28band%29
