Never really been a big fan of this record or Burning Spear, for some reason.

the production is somehow even more of a murky shimmer than the jack ruby records

For all I love Rodney at his heaviest, he can be so *sweet* and Nayah/Nyah Keith is him at his sweetest.

"marcus senior"... like funk music in a floating world

but really the moment that sends it over for me is when "civilize reggae" turns into a dub of itself

We’re in the midst of a truly god forsaken heat wave here and “Marcus Children Suffer” has been lodged in my skull. I can respect Social Living as the favorite. The first Studio One lp was my introduction though—to Burning Spear but it was also probably the first reggae album I heard after Legend—and I don’t think anything will ever shift it

I'm a Marcus Garvey partisan myself. "Slavery Days" is just flawless

Yep Social Living is insane. "Civilized Reggae" is just ridiculously beautiful.

"marcus children suffer" has been looped in my head for two weeks
