1974
FOGGY ROAD * BURNING SPEAR * COXSONE * JA
An Original first issue Coxsone, and, printed on the label just above the date June 1974, there is the legend 'Heavy Duty Music', how right that is. Though what is curious is on the British Fab label issue (see below) where the credits to the song are given as Lennon and McCartney ! On this cut Burning Spear (Winston Rodney) does what he does best; he gives us, in the most awesome and dread manner, a moral and ethical challenge to live an exemplary life. A life, that is not only not an easy road to travel but a difficult road to even locate in the first place. Makes for great if a little uncomfortable listening in the safety and comfort of nice suburban home.
