Hugh Mundell - Africa Must Be Free By 1983 (Vinyl)
The teenaged Hugh Mundell cut 'Africa Must Be Free by 1983' under the tutelage of the legendary producer Augustus Pablo in the mid-'70s, and had a Jamaican hit with the title track. It's the sincerity and devotion in Mundell's voice that make successes of songs like "Let's All Unite" and "My Mind" - that and the rock-solid instrumental backing of Pablo's studio band, which at this time included bassist and trombonist Leroy "Horsemouth" Wallace and guitarists Earl "Chinna" Smith and Jeffrey Chung. Like too many of Jamaica's best reggae musicians, Mundell died young - in an almost creepy irony (given the title of his hit song), he was shot and killed in 1983 at the age of 21.
This is the Greensleeves 40th Anniversary vinyl repress edition.

A1 Let's All Unite
A2 My Mind
A3 Africa Must Be Free By 1983
A4 Why Do Black Men Fuss And Fight

OUT OF STOCK ITEMS
Flying Nun only make products available to purchase on our website when they are actually physically held at the store (except pre-orders).
