Murvin, Junior

Bad Man Possee

'Bad Man Possee' is a classic early eighties dub reggae recording by Junior Murvin, who made his name working with Lee "Scratch" Perry on his 1976 debut album 'Police & Thieves.' This album features some stirringly hypnotic tracks to go along with the hit title track. 'Guitar' is an eerie ode to Murvin's first guitar, riding craftily over a headnodding rhythm provided by 'Dread At The Controls' studio musicians the Roots Radics Band. While Murvin changes speeds quite mercurially, from the love lost recollection 'Never Fall In Love' to the politically charged 'Rebellion,' the high quality of the music remains even throughout. Murvin's outstanding doo wop-inspired falsetto is a uniquely inspired nod to the R&B tradition as well as the stylings of ska, rocksteady, and dub. Murvin tops the album off with simply astonishing version 'Man Is The Fire.' Limited edition of 750 individually numbered copies on translucent yellow coloured vinyl.
