BLACK WA-DA-DA (INVASION) * BURNING SPEAR * ISLAND 6294 * UK

Heavy, heavy drum sound on this double A sided release from Island, both sides are Dubs which are also found on the popular Dub album of the time Garvey's Ghost, Island 9382. Apart from Rupert Weillington and Delroy Hines, who The Burning Spear signed up to help him spread the vocal sound, there is a galaxy of top musicians playing on this Jack Ruby production: Robert Shakespeare, Aston Barret, Earl Smith, Valentine Chin, Leroy Wallace, Vincent Gordon, Richard (dirty Harry) Hall, Herman Marquis, Bobby Ellis and more. It's no wonder music like this has such a prolonged vitality.
