The name says it all. Linval Thompson is fully motivated by his raw emotion on the subject of the title track of this album. Linval is the producer and main vocal feature on this 1978 Trojan release. My copy is a CD released in 1997 also off the Trojan label. There are 11 tracks on this one and they're all relatively short from about 2 minutes to about 4 ; most of it was recorded at Channel One - Kingston. My favorites on this one are : #1 ( I Love Marijuana ), #4 ( Not Follow Fashion ) a Ken Boothe cover, and #11 ( Jamaican Colly ) an I Love Marijuana Version. This is classic seventies roots from one on the last great producers of the era. He's stacked his musical line-up with extraordinary talent including : Sly, Robbie, Horsemouth, Familyman, Chinna, and many others. This one might not be essential to your collection, but the album art is totally a great example of the original style of album cover art fro the late seventies. Other great Linval Thompson tracks can be found on Ride On Dreadlocks ( Ride On Dreadlocks : Linval Thompson ) and other compilations.
