Content

The album was fashioned by Island Record engineers John Burns and Dick Cuthell in their Hammersmith studio. It features prominently the backing musicians, whom Lindo named the Black Disciples, assembled from members of the session group the Soul Syndicate and Bob Marley's touring band, the Wailers.

On July 27, 2010, the album was remastered and released by Universal's Hip-O Records reissue imprint in tandem with the original Marcus Garvey LP on one compact disc.
