Description

1LP vinyl – VPRL4252

Out-of-print and coveted by collectors for over four decades, Creation is now finally getting the reissue treatment it so thoroughly deserves. This new edition features impeccable sound restoration, rare photos on the inner sleeve, and extensive liner notes from the highly respected Reggae historian Harry Wise aka Noel Hawks.

Originally released in 1979, Creation, was expertly produced by the ace Jamaican keyboardist Ossie Hibbert, accompanied by the top-ranking band of the era, The Revolutionairies. The album showcases a skillfully curated blend of soon-to-be classic cuts alongside a number of inspired, anthemic covers, such as “Creation Rebel” by Burning Spear and Dennis Brown’s “Here I Come”, both of which can truly stand up to the originals. Fans of Gregory Isaacs and Leroy Smart will recognise the backing tracks to "Here I Come" from "Set The Captives Free" and "Shame And Pride," respectively.
