The ultimate edition of the Roots Reggae masterpiece release 1977-2017!

The album classic was originally issued in 1977 in Jamaica only and 20 years later in 1997 released by the Blood & Fire label as the outstanding but now deleted "Heart Of The Congos".

VP Records' sub-label 17 North Parade has released now the definitive 2017 re-mastered 3CD deluxe edition put together with both respect and gratitude to that illustrious antecedent (also available as 3LP -set incl. the ultrarare original LP mix).

This new 3CD set is based on the more well-known mix and master from the Blood & Fire re-release, plus dubs, disco mixes, seven and twelve inch versions and has with "Don’t Blame It On I" an overlooked previously unreleased track unearthed.

The 3LP-Vinyl was state-of the-art re-mastered again by Kevin Metcalfe and comes in a 6mm spine jacket sleeve with full colour printed illustrated inner sleeves and the liner notes by Noel Hawks.
