This collection compiles some of the very first recordings Mr. Onuora made upon release from the prison.

.
Most of them are 7" A and B sides from the late seventies and were recorded at Tuff Gong (Bob Marley's home) studios with Bob's own ridim section, Aston & Carlton Barret, "Touter" Hartvey, "China" Smith et al.
Oku's sharp observations on ghetto living and calls to resist the opression of Babylon are amply matched with some of the wickedest, tightest dub and the sheer level of musicianship elevates this collection way above the many similar reissues of reggae music from the same period.
