ONE LOVE: REGGAE: Rusty Rebel: Rebel Rock Sound

“Right this is {quote}Civilisation{quote} by the Classics. And it's a Lee Perry production. It's not on the original label that it was on but the fact that it's been repressed that's fine by me. And also the label here with the sleeve it's actually got a picture of Lee Perry on there as well, which is really nice. But 'Civilisation', it's about...the songs basically saying that we need more civilisation, we need more unity, we need more love, we need more .. you know .. looking after one another and so forth. It's as simple as what it does say, we need more civilisation, we need to be acting like we are civilised people and, you know, stop the back biting, the fussing and the fighting and so forth. So, that to me replicates what reggae music is about, it's about peace. It's a different angle of saying we want more peace, yeah that's what it's about.”Rusty Rebel: Parkside Building, Birmingham City University, 4th April 2018The Classics: {quote}Civilsation{quote} released 1971Rusty Rebel
