Jolly Brothers - "Conscious Man" and "Babylon A Fight Rasta"
from Conscious Man (1977)
In late '77, the Jolly Brothers recorded some tracks at the Black Ark and intended to record an LP with Perry after their tune 'Conscious Man' caught on in the UK. They recorded enough songs for a full length, but problems occured with their label and only a few of the songs saw release a few years after in limited numbers. It wasn't until 1993 when they released this album on CD, but it has once again fallen out of print. Some re-issue label (Pressure Sounds??) really needs to make this available again because it's a fine collection of songs with great harmonies and that classic Ark sound.
There is a handful of other lost gems from this time that will be featured here very soon... stay tuned.
