Handsworth Revolution – Steel Pulse (1978)

http://www.mediafire.com/?httmdgtzwry

This album is a milestone in the development of reggae music. It demonstrated that although the sound of British reggae was different to the sounds coming from Jamaica, it was just as thought provoking and melodic. Handsworth Revolution resurrects the spirit of the time; Rock Against Racism marches, Anti Nazi League protests all rounded up with a party of punks, dreads and like minded people in unison! It has stood the test of time; smooth vocals over original dub bass representing the struggle of that era. It was a shame that the band were never able to match this with their further releases
