Having conquered the U.K. market with their unique blend of authentic roots reggae and Rastafarian politics, Steel Pulse now looked to America to help secure their place as one of the greatest U.K. reggae acts of all time. TRUE DEMOCRACY, their 4th release and Elektra debut, found them issuing out a slicker 80s sound all while lyrically maintaining their social consciousness. The slight change proved successful and TRUE DEMOCRACY would become their first charting record in America, appearing on both the pop and R&B listings.

Produced by Karl Pitterson (of Peter Tosh's LEGALIZE), TRUE DEMOCRACY is rich in revelations and multi-textured music from the exalting "Chant A Psalm" to the questioning "A Who Responsible?" Other highlights include "Leggo Beast" - a denouncement of adultery, the love song "Your House," and lesson-to-be-learned "Man No Sober."

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. Their 1982 Elektra debut, True Democracy, was produced by Karl Pitterson (of Peter Tosh's Legalize) and features the tracks "Ravers" and "Worth His Weight In Gold (Rally Round)." This expanded edition includes four previously unreleased bonus tracks.
