Zukie, Tapper: M.P.L.A. (Vinyl LP)

If any album could conjure up the revolutionary spirit of Jamaica in the mid 1970's, Tapper Zukie's invincible MPLA set would surely be a fighting contender. The coming together of great rhythms and meaningful lyrics in a time of unrest in the country seemed to have made the album all the more urgent and relevant.

As time would tell it would also prove to be a lasting success, not only with the hard core reggae fans but also their punk counterparts, who embraced its militant themes and crossed the album over to a whole new audience.
