███¦ Release ▀ ███
██▓▀ ███
███ Two Sevens Clash, the trailblazing debut by Reggae ███
███ legends Culture is re-released for its 30th ███
███ anniversary next month and has already received rave ███
███ reviews. ███
███ ███
███ Despite not being re-released until the 16th of July ███
███ it has received a four star review from Mojo, which ███
███ will surely be the first of many. ███
███ ███
███ As Important to the nascent punk scene as to Reggae ███
███ itself, it outsold MarleyÆs Exodus (released the ███
███ same year), in LondonÆs Rough Trade record store. ███
███ They would be signed to VirginÆs Front Line label ███
███ the next year, on Richard Branson and John LydonÆs ███
███ famed visit to Jamaica on the back of this albums ███
███ success. ███
███ ███
███ Featuring a line up of musicians stretched from ███
███ reggaes past to its future, including The Skatalites ███
███ Tommy McCook and Sly and Robbie, who would later ███
███ usher Reggae into the digital era, this outstanding ███
███ pedigree was eclipsed by the talent of the vocal ███
███ group themselves, most notably the late great Joseph ███
███ Hill. The lead singerÆs beautiful tenor could cut ███
███ through even the murkiest bass sound like light ███
███ through a fog. Inspired by a kabbalist prophecy of ███
███ doomsday based around the combination of sevens, the ███
███ albums effects were felt far beyond the musical ███
███ world. Apparently, on the day in question- 07/07/77, ███
███ the streets of Jamaica were empty for fear of the ███
███ rapture. Apocryphal or not, this story still shows ███
███ what an important album this was not just in terms ███
███ of reggae but also wider Jamaican culture, as ███
███ equally reflective of the country's turbulent ███
███ political climate as it was of Rastafarian ███
███ mysticism. ███
███ ███
███ This new release has been completely digitally ███
███ re-mastered and features five bonus tracks of 12 ███
███ mixes, DJ versions an dubs previously only available ███
███ on rare singles. ███
███ Accompanied by a booklet with liner notes by Lenny ███
███ Kaye of Nuggets compilation/ Patty Smith Group fame ███
███ and testimonials from Sly and Robby, Burning Spear, ███
███ Mutabaruka and others, this is an amazing expanded ███
███ edition of one of the most important reggae albums ███
███ of the 70s. ███
