Burning Spear
1 Jan 1976
The Bottom Line:
Physical but little proof of John's sabbatical in Jamaica.
Regular reggae album, meaning two chords and little room for guitar.
Like John said, 'just sessions', recorded during his sabbatical.
Recorded at Randy's Recording Studio and Harry Jay's Recording Studio, Kingston, Jamaica.
On various occasions, John also claimed having participated in Max Romeo sessions but these have not yet been identified.
