Mixing impassioned social commentary with stellar Rasta beats, these sons of Jamaican immigrants rose from humble Birmingham origins to become one of the U.K.'s all-time greatest reggae acts. Led by singer/guitarist/songwriter David Hinds, Steel Pulse's fate took a unique turn when they began blending roots grooves and subversive Rastafarian politics, a sound that attracted both punk and new wave audiences.

1984's EARTH CRISIS, produced by the legendary Jimmy Haynes, garnered the group a gold record with its well-balanced mix of politically charged lyrics and happy-go-lucky beats. The vinyl edition features a remastered version of the socially powerful "Earth Crisis" as well standout tracks like moody roots driven "Steppin' Out," "Roller Skates," a surprisingly upbeat tale of woe, and the richly textured "Tight Rope."
