 | | Description: | Kingston Sounds presents a reissue of Junior Ross and The Spears's Babylon Fall, originally issued in 1992. Junior Ross and The Spears are another great Jamaican roots group that have been nurtured under the guidance of fellow Jamaican, producer and singer Tapper Zukie. Zukie not only gave the singer and his band their name but recorded, produced and released their records on his own 'Stars' imprint label. Junior Ross (Clifford Palmer, 7 Sept 1953, Kingston, Jamaica) grew up alongside his brothers Frankie Jones and Roy "Soft" Palmer, who in turn had entered the music business alongside future roots singer Prince Alla. Alla had formed a group called The Nazarines with Palmer and Milton Henry, so music was all around Junior Ross and he would soon follow in their footsteps and start recording some of his songs. This album had it's initial release in 1992. Kingston Sounds have added to it various dub versions that were b-sides to the singles and extended recordings again produced by Tapper Zukie. This is Junior Ross and the Spears's classic album and it's related musical accompaniments all in one place and it is sounding better than ever.* CD Bonus Tracks"Babylon Fall" is a roots reggae CD by Junior Ross & The Spears, released by Kingston Sounds/Indigo. This collection captures the deeply spiritual and socially conscious side of 1970s Jamaican roots, with heavy basslines, militant drum patterns and soulful harmonies that reflect the atmosphere of the post-Rasta and cultural revival era.

The production is raw and earthy, preserving the warmth and analogue charm of classic reggae sessions, making this CD ideal both for dedicated collectors and for newcomers who want to discover authentic roots sounds beyond the mainstream.
