Brand new reissue for the epic Tapper Zukie's first album, originally released in 1973. Supervised by the original producer Clement Bushay! Zukie never expected these cuts to turn into an album, and was quite startled to discover this record in the London shops when he came to town in the spring of 1975. After 50 years Man Ah Warrior is still a lively and unique collection. The bassline and trademark guitar sound from The Temptations’ Papa Was a Rolling Stone is instantly recognisable in the title track with the riddim featuring just drum, bass, and riffing guitar. I King Zukie is a big tune, an interplay between the soulful vocal of I Dont Know Why I Love You (originally done by Stevie Wonder) and Tapper Zukie’s toasting. All in all a series of remarkable tunes such as the wicked Viego, the hypnotic Cally Dolly and Zukie Fashionwear with a big trombone and at the beginning Willie Williams (although Delroy Wilson is mentioned in the song) singing lines from the Temptations song Get Ready.
