{"product_id":"israel-vibration-iv-lp-black-vinyl","title":"Israel Vibration - IV (Black Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIsrael Vibration - IV\u003c\/strong\u003e returns to vinyl in a newly remastered edition of a major roots-reggae album originally released in 1993. The record has not been reissued on vinyl since its initial appearance, making this pressing an important opportunity to revisit a cornerstone of the group’s catalogue. Recorded at Music Works Recording Studio in the year it became known as Anchor Recording Studio, \u003cem\u003eIV\u003c\/em\u003e carries the sound and personnel of a classic Jamaican roots session.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe album was produced by Doctor Dead and mixed at Lion \u0026amp; Fox Recording Studio, the American base of RAS Records. Its instrumental foundation is supplied by an exceptional line-up drawn from the Roots Radics: Flabba Holt on bass, Tee Bird on keyboards, Dwight Pinkney on guitar and Sky Juice on percussion. Their playing gives the record its deep rhythmic authority, combining weight, space and melodic detail without crowding the vocal performances.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIsrael Vibration’s distinctive strength comes from the interaction between Skelly, Wiss and Apple. The three singers take turns on lead while the other voices rise around them in high, melodic harmony. “You Never Know” and “Falling Angel” establish the album’s spiritual and reflective tone, while “Reggae Rock N’ Roll” and “Hard Times” add a firmer rhythmic edge. “Racial Injustice” addresses social struggle directly, and the second half continues with “Run But You Can’t Hide”, “Babylon By Bus”, “Naw Give Up the Fight” and “Thank You Jah”.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe material sits firmly within roots rock reggae, balancing resistance, faith and lived experience. The remaster brings renewed clarity to the bass, drums, guitars and vocal harmonies while preserving the warmth and character of the original recording. For listeners familiar with Israel Vibration, this is a welcome restoration of a long-unavailable title; for newer reggae collectors, it offers a strong example of the group working with one of Jamaica’s most dependable rhythm sections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis edition is pressed on 180g black vinyl and housed in a glossy 350g sleeve through Diggers Factory. Combining substantial presentation with historically significant music, \u003cem\u003eIV\u003c\/em\u003e belongs in collections focused on roots reggae, the Roots Radics and classic 1990s Jamaican recordings. This is a pre-order for release on 28 August 2026.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Diggers Factory","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58377699590518,"sku":"DIGLP026","price":24.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/6450\/6005\/files\/iviv.webp?v=1785565868","url":"https:\/\/www.stickyblacktarmac.com\/products\/israel-vibration-iv-lp-black-vinyl","provider":"Sticky Black Tarmac","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
