Posted By: Phoenix Sanmare Posted On: Sep 27, 2008 Views: 2431 | The art of reggae War ina Babylon is now one of my 11 years old daughter's favorite songs (together with "Evening News", also with M.R. and "Spying Glasses" with Horace Andy). I wish I could vote for the cover of the LP too. Many of the album covers from the 70ies represents a very serious and profound school of arts. The drawings and paintings are very beautiful and strong, and there is a lot of reflexion and planning behind the LP cover. I heard that somewhere in the world a reggae art expo were arrenged, but I don't remember where. It should be fun to know which covers other people like most. My own favorites are "Catch A Fire" (original cigarette lighter LP cover), "Rasta Ambassador" (U Roy's black dove cover), "War ina Babylon", the three or four first LPs with Third World and "Equal Rights" with Peter Tosh. I don't own a copy of the lighter original, and I should pay much for this very rare LP. |

Posted By: Greg C. Posted On: Dec 6, 2004 Views: 3134 | Max Romeo "War In A Babylon" is a standout LP any way you look at it. It's aged wonderfully---perhaps one of the decade's most crucial LPs. |
Posted By: Jason Posted On: Apr 21, 2004 Views: 3137 | Whatever This is a classic album, hands down. It is well produced and has both a funky edge and a political statement. I would reccomend this to both old and new reggae fans alike. |
Posted By: Randy J Posted On: Apr 17, 2003 Views: 3132 | Max Romeo "I Chase the Devil" brought me to this album thanks to some samples used (Prodigy, etc.) Love it! Classic choons =) |
Posted By: Ras Palle Posted On: Apr 7, 2002 Views: 3121 | not really I got to say that "war in a babylon" is NOT the best track on the album and its not even close to deserve that ledgendary status it have tracks like "Norman" and "I chase the devil" is mutch mutch better |
