The Congos

Absolute classic that 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 re-mastered 3LP deluxe edition put together with both respect and gratitude to that illustrious antecedent. This new 3LP 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. 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.
