Product description

Burning Spear's "Hail H.I.M." is a seminal work in the reggae canon, released in 1980 under the Parlophone UK label. This album marks a pivotal moment in the career of the legendary Jamaican musician, showcasing his mastery of roots reggae, dub, and rocksteady. Produced by Burning Spear himself and Aston "Family Man" Barrett, the album was recorded and mixed at the iconic Tuff Gong Recording Studio in Kingston, Jamaica.

"Hail H.I.M." features nine powerful tracks that blend traditional reggae rhythms with profound lyrical content, reflecting Burning Spear's deep commitment to social and political issues. The album opens with the title track, "Hail H.I.M.," followed by standout songs like "Columbus," "Follow Marcus Garvey," and "Cry Blood Africa." Each song is a testament to Burning Spear's ability to weave storytelling and activism into his music, making "Hail H.I.M." a timeless classic.

The album's original release came with lyrics printed on a cardboard inner sleeve, adding an interactive element for fans. Burning Spear supported "Hail H.I.M." with a North American tour, further cementing his status as a global reggae icon. The 2002 remastered version ensures that the album's sound quality remains pristine, allowing new and old fans alike to experience the rich, layered production and Burning Spear's distinctive vocals.

With a runtime of just 38 minutes, "Hail H.I.M." is a concise yet impactful collection that highlights Burning Spear's artistic vision and his enduring influence on reggae music. Whether you're a longtime fan or new to his work, this album offers a compelling journey through the heart of Jamaican music and culture.

This LP was released in 1980.
