This week’s album pick is one that I searched for in vinyl for several years but could never find for less than a mortgage payment. So a few months ago I walk into my local record shop and I’m flipping through the reggae vinyl like a mental patient, hoping they got something, anything I might be interested in. I flip right past this double album and don’t even realize it for a few seconds. I back it up and there it is in near mint condition. The 2004 collection of Mundell’s many masterpieces between 1978-1981 pressed by the Makasound label, Paris, France. Although I have many grievances with the way this album was compiled, I have no complaints regarding the sound quality, which is epic.
I have included my own high quality digitized audio as well as an article from The Beat wherein Junior Reid, who was sitting next to Mundell in the car when he was murdered, recounts the story.
