Prince Alla & Junior Ross: I Can Hear the Children Singing

By GRAHAM REID

(Herald rating:

Classic mid-70s, Tappa Zukie-produced, Rasta reggae spread over two discs featuring Prince Alla on one and a collection of singles from Junior Ross and the Spears on the other, each disc with extended dub versions of some tracks. Both deliver distinctive songs with a pop economy and emotional depth. One for serious dreadheads.
