Various - Magnificent 7

The Magnifcent 7' features the work of some of the heaviest deejays of
the period, inspired by the tenets of Rastafarianism, extolling the virtues
of living upright in those dread times
Opening with Jah Walton who would go on to greater success as Joseph Cotton
in the nineties, followed by Big Youth who had made some of his earliest records
with Phil Pratt. I Roy, Jamaica's most literate and articulate deejay, steps forward
with two big hits, 'Ital Dish' and 'Musical Air Raid' before two tracks from King
Sighta, a young deejay who apparently lost an eye in a factory accident, and who
released the eponymous 'King Sighter The One Eyed Giant' album on Terminal
that year. Very little is known about Little Wicked, but Big Joe recorded
extensively during the seventies for Studio One, Harry Mudie's Moodisc Records
and many other top producers although this is his sole recording, released on
Chanan Jah in London, for Phil Pratt. The set concludes with Jah Stitch, deejay
for Tippertone and Black Harmony sound systems, with another big hit, 'Evilest
Thing'. Tracks: The Seed You Sow - Jah Walton / Love Jah Jah Children - Big Youth / Ital
