Creation (Limited LP)

Freddy McKay’s ‘Creation’ album, expertly produced by Ossie Hibbert showcases a well-chosen blend of original soon-to-be-classics ‘longside a selection of inspired anthemic do-overs. It’s a measure of the quality of this release that these inspired interpretations stand up as equal to the Burning Spear and Dennis Brown originals. The selection of subtle dub versions of the songs included serve to highlight the brilliance of the musicians playing in the classical ‘rockers’ style that dominated the latter half of the seventies.
