Alongside UK reggae bands 'Steel Pulse, Aswad, Black Slate and Misty In Roots' was 'Matumbi. This is their first and and for me their best album and surprisingly it is still OOP.Originally formed in 1972, it took them until 1978 to release their first album 'Seven Seals'. A real blend of reggae, soul, funk and pop produces some really catchy numbers. I'm sure a few reggae purists may criticize this but hey who cares, I've always liked it.
As the covers are interesting and also the lyrics are printed I have added high resolution scans as well.
So try it out and leave a comment and let me know what you think.
