This Hugh Mundell disc is from Black Arrow Records. The original material on this album was recorded in and released in 1980 by Live & Love Records. It has eleven tracks total and some of the highlights are #5 (Million Miles), #8 (Blacksheep), and the title track #2 (Jah Fire). Other noteable songs on this disc are #9 (Million Dub) version of Million Miles, #10 (King Pablo) dub version of King of Israel, and the now classic #11 ( Pablo in Moonlight). Tracks 9, 10, and 11 are extras only found on the Black Arrow CD, released in 2002. Producer is noted as King Jammy's ; featuring Lacksley Castel and Augustus Pablo. And of course these rythms were layed down by some master musicians like : Santa, Horsemouth, Sly, Robbie, Bobby Ellis, Deadley Headley, 'Im Brooks, Bingy Bunny, and more. This is an outstanding musical effort coming hot off the heels of 1978's "Africa Must be Free by 1983", the legendary album that gained Hugh Mundell his noteriety. Self-titled "
Mundell" came afterward in 1982, and if you've got all three of these albums, you've got the most important cross-section of Hugh Mundell's work.
