Live Up Jah Man produced by Bunny Striker Lee for Unknown Label in 1977
1977 roots reggae from Bunny Striker Lee, Live Up Jah Man brings together Johnny Clarke’s title cut and the dubby version excursion A Living Version from King Tubby and Prince Jammy. The riddim is a compact two-track set, and the title tune is also known from the deeper Bunny Lee catalog as Down in a Babylon, which underlines how central Clarke’s voice was to this rhythm. With its heavy roots feel and sound-system-minded version side, this release sits right in Bunny Lee’s classic late-70s run, when his productions were shaping some of the era’s hardest Kingston cuts.
