Steel Pulse - Handsworth Revolution

[lacanella]

Babylon is falliiiiiing <3

[StonyRabbit]

takeing me back to sierra navada world music festival. been a few years.

[vongeyer]

I bought this album when it was released (I'm not after any applause for being aged!) and saw Steel Pulse in 1978, again in the 80s and last time in 1991 at the Paradiso in Amsterdam - this remains the best gig I've ever seen. I hope to see them again one day...

[MrMoggyold]

that wasn't the whole song wth

[bravoda1]

I remember when i first heard this song i started to get into understanding Rastafarianism from living with a rastafarian. But the day came when views of the religion and way of life became Jaded when i saw my good friend eating a stake HaHa,who in fact was a Rastafarian.

@HJVJHL Because it's great, eh? For more justice, how 'bout we share natural resource wealth equally. Air and water belong to all. When industries put pollution or take natural resources, make them pay a fee. Money to the people as compensation for damage done or value taken.

No one would live in extreme poverty. Share the wealth, the natural bounty of the Earth.

We would have a more healthy environment. (Corporations would try to reduce environmental impacts to save money gaiabrain.blogspot.c

[ThePagan75]

check my playlists this isnt my usual genre but omg this brings back some brilliant memories and steel pulse will always have a special place in my heart. Steel Pulse should be brought into the national curriculum in music appreciation, my teacher allowed it in 199o and enjoyed it so why not :)

[jamer675]

Still a good tune after all these years

[MrFreedomification]

Good music from times that were BAD, fuckin Thatcher and her Gestapo police, Brixton riots and all that, still out of adversity comes great inspirational expression.

[daddynicko]

Great!

Reggae from UK is missing nowadays...

Lot of good Dub... but no reggae bands!... :(

[mynameisnotalfredo]
