BARRY BROWN - PASS UP THE CHALICE

A definitive compilation of Barry Brown’s work with producer Rodguel “Blackbeard” Sinclair, spanning 1978–1983. This LP brings together 12 roots reggae classics—powered by heavyweight contributions from King Tubby’s mixing desk and musicians like Sly & Robbie and the Roots Radics. Brown’s soulful tenor delivers themes of social struggle, upliftment, and romance, all backed by deep basslines, echoing dub effects, and timeless rhythms. A must-have for reggae aficionados and vinyl collectors, this reissue resonates with analog warmth and vibrant Jamaican spirit.
