Culture - Two Sevens Clash [CD]

Culture is widely acknowledged as the greatest roots reggae harmony group of all time; they made acclaimed records and toured widely for 30 years until lead singer Joseph Hill's untimely passing last year. TWO SEVENS CLASH is hailed as one of the greatest, most influential records ever made; the title track's predictions brought the city of Kingston, Jamaica to a standstill on the fateful date of July 7, 1977, the date when 7s would fully clash.The album was an important influence on a whole generation of punk rockers including The Clash and The Sex Pistols.
