The Ethiopian - Open The Gate Of Zion LP
SKU: JART123302
Description:
This 1978 roots reggae LP, containing ten songs, was only released
in Jamaica on the GG label, and includes masterpieces like 'Africa
Now', 'Wondering', 'Corruption' and 'Wicked Is Down On Me'. The
song 'The Gate Of Zion' was a re-make of 'Nuh Follow Babylon' from
the previous released 'Slave Call' album. A former Studio One
classic 'I'm Gonna Take Over Now' was included re-titled as 'I'm
Gonna Take It Over' besides an updated version of Sir J.J. hit
'Selah'.
After 41 years and through much positive energy and efforts, the
Dutch Jamaican Art label presents 'Open The Gate Of Zion' LP again
for a broader public. Besides all ten songs, carefully transferred
from the original two-track master tapes, it also has new
art-work/front cover, a gatefold sleeve and a bonustrack.
The beautiful 'Rastaman Song' was previously released only on a
limited run of a 12-inch record (GG label, Jamaica, 1980). The
special disco-mix that appears here is never issued on vinyl
before. It's a comforting thought that we still can enjoy the music
of a true Jamaican hero, mr. Leonard 'The Ethiopian' Dillon.Proper
reissue!
