Two Sevens Clash

The title track predicted chaos for July 7, 1977, and Kingston reportedly stayed indoors that day waiting to see if Joseph Hill was right. That's the legend; the music backs it up regardless. "Black Starliner Must Come" and "Natty Dread Taking Over" carry the Rasta repatriation themes the whole record is built on. Joe Gibbs' production is crisp, the harmonies are tight — this is roots reggae at its most focused.
