Johnny Clarke - Creation Rebel (VP Records)
Format: Double Vinyl LP
Cat No: VPRL 4220
Among the ranks of singers, only Johnny Clarke comes close to challenging Bob Marley & Dennis Brown for reggae’s crown, through his unequalled run of hit songs. His output of mid-70s classics powered by producer Bunny “Striker” Lee, give Clarke status among the top artists of the period and contemporary relevance on the live show and reggae festival circuit.
Many of Johnny’s classic roots recordings gathered here were given international exposure in the 1998 release ‘Dreader Dread’, released by the esteemed Blood & Fire label. Expanded and re-mastered, the release of Creation Rebel captures the very essence of what is now regarded as the golden age of roots music.
Package bonus features include extended length mixes of “Jah Love Is With I,” “Bad Days Are Going,” and “Peace And Love In The Ghetto.” Newly composed liner notes by Noel Hawks.
