Personnel: Big Youth (vocals); Earl "Chinna" Smith, Tony Chin (guitar); Keith Sterling (keyboards); Emperor Lord George Fullwood (bass); Carlton "Santa" Davis (drums).
Recorded live in Montego Bay, Jamaica on April 4, 1982. Includes liner notes by Otis S. Taylor.
Studio albums do little to shed light on the true value of an artist as a performer. Sitting in a recording booth belting out rehearsed tunes in relative privacy has a different affect on an artist than singing that same song in front of thousands of on-lookers, especially at a place where expectations run high, like Reggae Sunsplash.
Reggae Sunsplash is Jamaica's most revered music series for reggae music. All of the greats, including Bob Marley, have performed at one time or another, and it certainly isn't the correct forum to give a lackluster performance. So Big Youth delivered, and the crowd's many bursts of joy that occur throughout this disc are proof enough of his abilities.
A beautiful epic version of "I Pray Thee/Satta Amasagana" serves as the opening track. In "Jim Squeechy," Youth chants his admiration for John Coltrane while simultaneously voicing his concerns about the state of society. The mighty "Ten Against One" opens with a sermon that may cause a change of faith for the unprepared. To feel the true worth of the man they call Big Youth, listen to this album.
