When they sing "News carrier stop carrying false news" you know these songs are timeless. Time hard, music harder with no-apology top flight tunes and arrangements in this fantastic Fred Locks & Creation Steppers' masterwork. Strictly roots reggae royalty on board this Regal Records voyage. Recorded at Channel One & Harry J's Studios in Kingston Jamaica. Every track essential with the title track particularly tuff and tight. Highlights range from "Voice Of The Poor" to "Homeward Bound" and "What You're Not Supposed To Do" to "Give Jah Your Heart And Soul" and many, many more. Fred on first side, Steppers on the flip. Cultural roots music non-stop within the themes of truth, rights and justice. Fuzzy Treston featured with Fred on "News Carrier". Watch out for "Cut Eye Cut Eye" too if you know what's good for you. Massive and mighty.
