Yabby You's debut full-length 'Conquering Lion' communicates a haunting spiritual quality that is uniquely its own. The product of recording sessions spread over four years, it still makes a coherent and powerful statement--thanks to the force of Vivian Jackson's (aka Yabby You) singular vision, and ability to draw peak performances from a Mount Rushmore of deep-roots reggae players and soundmen.

Here the album is presented for the first time in expanded form, with a second volume featuring dub and DJ mixes of the original tracks.
