Do-It-Once™: I Roy - The Observer Book Of Roy Samuel Reid

Injil

"Unu have heard that it were said - 'Love thy companion an hate thy enemy.' But I-man tell unu, that unu might be childran fe your Faada Who are ina Heaven - love your enemies, an bless them who curse unu, an do fine fe them who hate unu, an pray becau them who persecute unu; fe HIM send forth Sun pon evil ones an pon goodly ones, an sends rain pon righteous ones an pon sinners. If unu love them who love unu what reward do unu have? How about tax collectors - wouldn't them do that? An if unu greet only your bredren what superiority do unu mek? How about sinners - wouldn't them do that? Thus like unto your Heavenly Faada were perfect - be perfect ones." SELAH.

Back sleeve:
The awesome run of hit singles that the late, great I Roy voiced for Niney The Observer during 1976 and 1977 are collected together here on LP for the very first time. Versioning a serious selection of roots reggae classics, including ''Here I Come'', ''Wolf & Leopards'', ''Satta Amassa Ganna'' and ''Weeping'', The Observer Book Of I-Roy showcases I-Roy's lyrical lexicogoraphy for Niney in fine style. This is foundation deejay music at its very, very best. Let there be version!
