One in every of Jamaica’s best voices, Al Campbell, joins forces with producer George Phang and Riddim Twins Sly & Robbie for an early Eighties replace of The Abyssinians’ 1970 Studio One traditional “Declaration Of Rights,” written by Bernard Collins and impressed by the Common Declaration of Human Rights.
The lyrics had been so highly effective that they impressed Bob Marley & The Wailers’ “Get Up Stand Up.” Whereas Campbell’s model is comparatively obscure, it reveals the endurance of an incredible composition and illustrates the transition from the early reggae period to the technologically superior studio sounds of the early 80s.
