Rasta Pon Top
1984 UK pressing in beautiful condition.
In 1975, an expanded line-up of the Twinkle Brothers with Paul Hurlock on lead guitar, Glen Stair on organ, Eric Barnard on piano, Albert Green aka Bongo Asher on congos, and Austin Williams on percussion, started to work at the newly opened Channel One Recording Studio on 29 Maxfield Avenue in Kingston 13. One of the tracks they recorded there, Give Rasta Praise, was released by Grounation on single and gave the band their first real hit. Then, their debut album on Grounation, Rasta Pon Top, came quickly after. Produced by Norman Grant and featuring Ossie Hibbert and Ernest Hookim at the knobs, the 10-track album kicked off a great career for the band with their signing to Virgin Records’ Frontline label in 1977, that led to the release of the Love, Praise Jah, and Countrymen albums, being a notable achievement. The album was reissued by the British Vista Records in 1984.
Does not come in the original sleeve.
