Israel Vibration – IV (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Israel Vibration spent years on the margins before finding their voice, three men who met as children at the Mona Rehabilitation Centre in Jamaica, bonded by polio and a shared devotion to Rastafari. By 1993, when IV was tracked, they had built one of the most distinctive vocal trios in roots reggae, a sound rooted in real suffering and genuine faith that no studio polish could manufacture or imitate.
Released in 1993 and never reissued on vinyl since, this album was recorded at Music Works Recording Studio, which was renamed that same year Anchor Recording Studio, well known among reggae enthusiasts. It was produced by Doctor Dead and mixed at the prestigious Lion & Fox Recording Studio, the American base of the RAS Records label.The line-up is impeccable, featuring of course Flabba Holt on bass, Tee Bird on keyboards, Dwight Pinkney on guitar, and Sky Juice on percussion-in short, the full Roots Radics line-up.As usual, Skelly, Wiss, and Apple take turns singing lead while the other two enhance the vocals with high-pitched melodic harmonies.In a Roots Rock Reggae vein, this album is a cornerstone of the group's discography, which we are pleased to present to you remastered, with a sound it had never been given before. The 180g vinyl pressing, glossy finish, and 350g sleeve make it a choice piece for all lovers of quality Roots reggae.
