Congo Ashanti 2025 Remaster - RSD26

Congo Ashanti 2025 Remaster - RSD26

Artist: Congos, The

Genre: Reggae

Label: VP / Greensleeves

Release date:

Emerging onto the worldstage via Lee Scratch Perry's 1977 masterpiece Heart Of The Congos, the group established a unique cache in the international reggae market. Cedric Myton, Watty Burnett, and Roy Johnson struck out on their own to produce Image of Africa and Congo Ashanti, both released in 1979.

Each album is remembered for a distinct studio sound, more mainstream than Scratch's hazy experiments and in line with the late 70s golden era. Standout tracks include "Youth Man," "Days Chasing Days," "Hail The World Of Jah," and "Thief Is In The Vineyard." Featured players include Ernest Ranglin, Sly & Robbie, and Tommy McCook.

The reissue features the images by acclaimed photographer Antoine Giacomoni. Newly remastered with liner notes and rare images. First repress of a 1979 European cover - gatefold sleeve with yellow red splatter vinyl.

FAQs

Any stock left over after the weekend will be made available online at 6pm on Monday 20 April. Not before.

No! No matter what your particularly unique set of circumstances are that mean you can't make it on the day (!) we are not allowed to reserve stock for you. Please don't as us to.

Nope. Records will only be available on the day on a first come first served basis so get to the shop early to avoid disappointment. We will look after you! Anything that does not sell will be available on our website afterwards.

We won't know how many titles we will have (vs what we've ordered) until the boxes turn up in the week of RSD.. We won't be able to predict when items sell out either.

To avoid people reselling online for a higher price and to make sure everyone gets what they want, we are limiting customers to one copy of any one LP.
