This disc provides a great look at one of Reggae's sweetest vocal trios in their prime. Original recorded material from about 1978-1980 and released on LP by Talent Music in 1978 and Greensleeves in 1980, then on CD in 1990 also by Greensleeves and again in 1996 on RAS. Israel Vibration is a killer vocal trio with it's three legendary members: Skelly, Apple, and Wiss. Their albums from the seventies to early eighties are the heaviest, from the last great roots movement coming out of the '70's. The backing musicians on this one include Augustus Pablo and the Barrett's (Aston "Familyman" and Carlton). 10 tracks total on this one. Recorded at Tuff Gong - Kinsgton with mixing engineer Errol Brown. These three tracks are a good example of what this album offers: #2 (Friday Evening), #5 (Top Contol), #10 (Practice What Jah Teach) this last track has a killer guitar riff and a great conscious message. There's a little horns, piano/keyboard in almost all the tracks. It's a well engineered and produced set.
