In 1982, Santa Cruz-based DJ Lance Linares contacted the Black Uhuru organization and proposed organizing a concert in Soledad Prison, where Linares did volunteer social work. To his surprise, his idea was enthusiastically accepted and the band performed to a packed house at Soledad Prison. What we hear on this double LP is the entire concert, which was broadcast live on KUSP, and which can be considered the reggae equivalent of American legend Johnny Cash's legendary live recording in Folsom.
