CEDRIC 'IM' BROOKS & THE DIVINE LIGHT From Mento To Reggae To Third World Music (Extremely rare 1975 Jamaican 10-track stereo LP, produced by the African Caribbean Institute Of Jamaica & pressed on the deep groove Dr Bird label, top opening picture sleeve. Taking Jamaican music from its first stirrings, merging a stew of rhythms and styles, from Mento and Nyahbinghi to Reggae, Ska, and Afro-beat, all done with the immediate looseness of a New Orleans street band transported to the heart of Kingston, Jamaica and turned loose to soak up every musical nuance in sight, including a big dose of Caribbean jazz. With tunes by Barrington Saddler, Tommy McCook, Don Drummond, The Wailers, Alton Ellis, The Abbysinians & Cedric himself. This copy is in astonishing near 'as new' condition with just a little light creasing to the corners & almost impossible to find MINT vinyl. You would be hard pressed to find a better copy than this!)
