Amidst the resurgence of vinyl’s popularity, 17 North Prada bestows upon aficionados a delightful treat: the much-anticipated vinyl edition of Prince Far I’s iconic album, following the success of its CD reissue. An emblematic creation from 1976, ‘Under Heavy Manners’ was crafted in the heart of Kingston, Jamaica, at Joe Gibbs’s renowned studio. This collaboration between the illustrious Prince Far I and Joe Gibbs’s in-house ensemble, The Professionals, birthed an album that is both musically rich and thematically poignant.
Prince Far I, revered for his unwavering commitment to addressing socio-political concerns, lent ‘Under Heavy Manners’ an acute lyrical acumen, enveloping listeners in a tapestry of compelling narratives, all underscored by transcendent rhythms. Notably, the entire album—save for a singular track by Errol Thompson—boasts compositions from Gibbs himself, attesting to his musical prowess and the enduring allure of this record.
Deemed one of Prince Far I’s most exemplary contributions to the realm of reggae, this reissued vinyl is not merely a piece of music; it’s a slice of history. And a word to the wise: secure your copy promptly. Much like vintage wine, this release, steeped in its legacy, is destined to be sought after, making its availability fleeting.
