Max Romeo & The Upsetters - One Step Forward

[MrDonnydogg]

slew di beast nd kill da devil! fyah pon babylon! bun it up! burn di zionist! burn di illuminati!

[mmzjahliv]

That is not a tiger...its def. Scratch

[jeshualivesforever]

YEs, get out of Babylon! Let it fall and fall!

Holocaust, Child Rape, War over War, Babylon is really evil!

[Terrorcriss]

The Police in some contexts are refferred to as Babylon, however the Biblical meaning of Babylon referred to in this and many Reggae songs is Babylon the Great, which refers to the entire world movement of false corrupted religions, namely all those that do not give the power and the glory to Jah. (Jahovah/Jehovah)

[A1MaxJones]

the voice of crucial reggae never to be forgotten keep leading the way

[ishabaka]

My girlfriend bought this LP in '77, we listened to it all the time. 

[JRJMcC1985]

Oh to be sitting high on the top of Mount Zion with Jah himself, watching Babylon burning red hot...

Jah Prophet Max Romeo, I!

[GodzillaVsGorilla]

Whoa man, Yoshi is at the beginning.

[originalwiggermuffin]

oh yeh ya'll, babylon

[jibuzzz]

this tune is out of time, an absolute classic

hugs

[famtho]

This tune sounds incredible when it is pumped out of a massive sound system with huge boxes strung all over the dance floor.

[Kdnce]

As everything continues to speed up remember we are asked, in proportion, to slow our lives down (Hopi). We have very little time to step out of Babylon now.

One Step forward two step backward ... down in a Babylon

Onwards forwards don't step backwards! STEP OUT OF BABYLON!!

[johngorgis]

its the jews that kill!

[famtho]

@johngorgis If kill its to defend themselves from idiots like you.

[arzask]

GeT OuT Of BaByLoN

[SlickCat57]

@arzask

Or, rise with babylon to change it for the better =]

[Kdnce]

@SlickCat57 No.

Either you are on a natural path disconnected from the materialistic over-consumption found in large popular societies or you are a part of them. We can not redefine a new, more natural existence from within the infrastructure set forth by the people who rulel of Babylon.

To think that society can ever be changed from within to the point that it could perfectly mirror any truly righteous principles is to have a lack of appreciation for the unfortunate nature of mankind.

[fiddlerize]

@Kdnce so you now have to give us all another choice after your statement rather than just saying it. tell me how your gonna get outta babylon and i'll tell you my way, babylon is everywhere if you cant change it from the inside then we have no hope of doing anything. you have to work with the people not against them or you'll find yourself alone or with only a small group of people who think the same as you. i dont like it but thats how it is.

[mellowthom]

@SlickCat57 babylon never change..sun stay sun,,babylon stay babylon,too late man no good use for a rasta,must burn it down,and then grow some fruits

[mariosfd]

@SlickCat57 r u fukin stupid fuk babylon u informa fi dead

[ProtoType62]

@SlickCat57 You can't change babylon its allready too corrupted

[Fn0rdL]

@SlickCat57 BABYLON A FALL BABYLON ZION SYSTEM WILL FALL

[MrDonnydogg]

@SlickCat57 babylon be to corrupted to change!

[greenelectra]

@arzask Truth.

[sssonarrr]

@BMF123321

zennek wel zekers van

[burns1961]

Great song i remeber this from the 70s.

[paeksungkyoon]

Thanks for this upload. But why do you guys put some strange noises in every reggae record on youtube ? (see WIKIDUB as well..) I start to think that some uploaders don't want that some other youtube's users would be able to download these songs with vidtomp3 or similar services and listen to them quietly....

[jeskaowen]

surely one of the greatest tunes ever

[theasimin15]

One Love

[slowwalker2]

one day you are dreadlocks..well dread......Next day you are bald head...clean shave

Lmao..gwan max romeo

[BadNews88]

Note to percussionoligist, UnlimitedMember and all others concerned:

I *did* notice that "wooosh" noise interspersed throughout this...it was *not* on the original vinyl version (1976) *at all!* This **must** be a remix for the subsequent re-release, yes?

I personally wanna have the LP back in my life...*if* UMG *won't* see fit to issue the *original* mix---the way it's *supposed* to be heard, IMHO!

Nonetheless, thanx fer this, m8....

[phillipskrewdriver]

Thank you Jamaica, without you we would have no skinhead

[alechris75]

Thank you very much.

I love this album, my favourite (Max Roméo).

[bansheesbiker]

who is playing drum on this song please?

[percussionologist]

2:36 woman starts singing before she's supposed to, always distracts me from the song. One of those things, once you've heard it you can't help but notice it...

[UnlimitedMember]

That's no woman singing, damned annoying tho!

The same stupid noise is included at about 2 sec from start, overdubbed probably. I had 2 copies of this album on vinyl back in mid-late 70's neither had these noises. Nice to hear it here tho!

[percussionologist]

come on that's got to be a woman singin accompaniment for the chorus...

[UnlimitedMember]

Sorry, you're right I think, thought you were referring to the stupid howling noise at 2.32, also before that at about 0.02, I see these intrusions are discussed in ealier posts. Peace :-)

[MyNameIsKojak]

yeah its a cool effect, I've heard it used in alot of Lee Perry's dubs he samples a vocal for a second and sometimes changes the volume on the sample sometimes it can surprise ya lol check out the Lee Perry compilation 'Arkology' for examples

[therealmadmaxx]

Mayb that was to keep in rythm IDK but it also is on the original cd(without the stupid MIAAAAAAAAUW) LOL if it was really wrong then they wouldnt put it on cd ;)

[reggaeman62]

un vrai petit bijoux jha rastafary!!!!!!!!

[harryshiters]

If you have not heared this timeless classic album, I pity you. WHAT ARE YOU DOING! GET IT NOW!

[venturasummer]

"are you a comerialist grabbing at the cash box" YEAH so relevant for today... thanks for uploading this. love your comment in the comment box. Onelove

[longuscatius]

a castrato tiger, that must have been a bastard to find...

good tune tho

[bansheesbiker]

hello! anybody knows who is playing drum in this set? thanx and jah live!!!

[larco33]

[notoriousboy6]

[kosmad]

[Tampinu]

You can hear it in 0:02 as well...

[therealmadmaxx]

[FeelingGoofy]

The dub of this track is a sick beat too.Especially when I'm banigin' it through my Pioneer stereo with My 6/9 and 5/7 infinity speakers.

[hollis216]

Massive tune.

No need to pull out lines for the tiger noise though mate. I'd not choose it as my text alert on my mobile, but if you can pull it off, jam on.

[strange86]

jah bless meaow:>

[lolaustralia]

[stickyresbowl]

[SlickCat57]

That my fair friend was some animated tiger noise, it interfered with the recording. it also occurs at 2:32.

[IanIanIanIanIanIan]

[SlickCat57]

[asmodeath]
