Just the third edition of this LP over the nearly 50 years since most of its tracks were recorded in 1977 at Lee Perry's Black Ark Studio. The languid, emotive close harmony singing and trippy lo-fi production that so captivated Perry and his fans in the Black Dark days were lost on Perry's major-label patrons, even though "Conscious Man" and "Brotherly Love" scored minor UK hits. And the LP, eventually released in the UK with two non-Black-Ark-recorded tracks, remains a prized find in the bins.
