Eclipsed/Expanded Edition

Description

Reissued here for the very first time in an expanded version, the only album by this British reggae group — originally released in 1978 on the Ball Record label — finally returns to the spotlight. Considered one of the best-kept secrets of the English reggae scene of the late 70s and early 80s, the group competed with Steel Pulse for the title of the best reggae band in Birmingham. The album perfectly illustrates the richness of British reggae from that era, blending roots grooves, soul harmonies, and cultural engagement into a sound deeply rooted in Jamaican tradition while asserting a strong English identity. This new edition includes the eight original tracks, both sides of the group's last single, as well as several previously unreleased tracks, offering a valuable insight into a major band that has long remained in the shadows of UK reggae history.
