The first ever reggae triple LP from 1973 reissued in unique formats!
As Sun Ra’s Arkestra and John Coltrane are to jazz, so The Mystic Revelation of Rastafari are to reggae - the ultimate expression of roots music and Rastafari ideology in reggae music, a music operating at a high level of spiritual consciousness combined with an avant-garde approach to sound.
The group’s amazing, unique and ground-breaking 1973 album, 'Grounation', a mighty triple-album concept (the first ever reggae triple!) is, like Marvin Gaye’s 'What’s Goin’ On', a definitive and all-encompassing cultural statement of its time and place. A sprawling album of raw and unique cultural expression that combines Rastafari consciousness with deep spiritual jazz music - an absolute and essential classic of reggae music.
Soul Jazz Records release this long-out-of-print album in two unique vinyl formats: a limited-edition deluxe box set with a free 45, art print, exact reproduction of the Mystic Revelation 1977 mag/zine and a download code;
And secondly as a triple album + download code. There is also a 2xCD deluxe version with large-format booklet in a slipcase. All editions come with new sleeve notes, photography, exact reproductions of the original text and artwork, and a new interview with founding member Sam Williams (aka Time).
