Merger played in front of over 200 thousand people at blackbushe 78 . . along with Joan armatrading bob dylan and eric clapton. What a day that was .

[stokey72]

did merger play at blackbush airport festival the Dylan and Clapton one in 77 i think. brilliant

[wisenatts]

Bloody hell! Where did you manage to get this from? I have one of their albums from 1977 but I didn't know anything about the group. Thanks to youtube I am finding out more and more about this much underrated band. It's nice to be reminded that people once played live instruments. I wonder where they are now? Thanks

[stokey72]

@wisenatts check out the video of them on the old grey whistle test. exile in babylon

[gds33]

It would be good to see the original 12 inch come out on CD or mp3 anyone have one?

[xensema]

the lps i know from this band are some of the best militant roots reggae i never heard....check them!their titles are armaggedon time and exiles in babylon...but the song biko doesnt appear on them is it coming from a third unknown album or was it just a 45's??

[kalcidis]

@xensema it was released as a 12" on Emergency Records. A really nice picture sleeve on it.

[xensema]

@kalcidis thanks for your answer!! i found it as a 45 rpm, i have to flip it if i want the second part.i would prefer a 12" with the complete song on a-side and the version (i guess it is a killer) on b side.
