Spear's '80s Gem
5 out of 5 stars
TvDicou25 June 2024United States🇺🇸
I've had to give this album some time to grow on me, but it's truly a delightful assortment of infectious rhythms. A few tracks are revamped versions of older songs. No complaints about this Heartbeat release, it's likely the final Burning Spear album from the '80s that still sounds fresh today, with the keyboards and drums maintaining a rootsy, natural feel. My copy plays smoothly, there's a bit of light surface hiss at the start of each side, and a rough spot at the end of side one. "Fire Man" - also known as "Fire Down Below" (studio one)"Bad to Worst" - also "Bad To Worst" (studio one)"2000 Years" - also "Tradition" (island)"For You" - also "Girls Like You" (studio one)

I've had to give this album some time to grow on me, but it's truly a delightful assortment of infectious beats. A few tracks are revamped versions of older songs. This Heartbeat pressing is flawless, likely the final Burning Spear album from the 80's that doesn't feel outdated now, with the keyboards and drums keeping that raw, natural feel. My copy plays smoothly, though there's a bit of light surface noise at the start of each side, and a rough spot at the end of side one.
