The Wailers - Uprising Confrontation '80


 In this 2-CD set is the final piece of the Trilogy sessions before they were mixed to publish Uprising (1980) & Confrontation (1983). This set includes all of your favorite songs from both albums including missing tracks from Black Survival '79 which could not be included due to lack of time slots. Did we just make an continuing sequel of a trilogy? I think we just did! Speaking of "sequel" be on the look out of the Exodus & Kaya session releases coming soon entitled "The Wailers '77" & "The Sequels of Love". These two sets were supposed to be released first, I know "aww", right? But here's my redemption! If I would have released them at the time I was "supposed" to, it wouldn't have been the full release. The Exodus & Kaya sessions, lost dubs, & alternate mixes were a BIG mess being there are SO many of them. In fact SO many I'm sure it'll take more CDs to give you all the FULL set for those 2, than it did for these 3! Don't you just love the sound of that? I litterally have to break those sessions in half to make sure you get everything, so bare with me! I mean I was nice enough to say "skip it, just do it out of order so they can have SOMETHING", right?

  These sessions were devided up between his friends when he died. Some of them took better care of the tapes than others (you can tell by the sound quality), but nevertheless I&I appreciate them spreading the love & JAH's message!

P.S. These are the last STUDIO sessions, not last recordings. I will make a compilation of songs he recorded in late 1980 through early '81 RIGHT before he died, but only upon request! So spread the message. The more request, the more & faster I will release material, which is one of many reasons why it took me so long to release THIS. It's will include acoustics he recorded at his mother (Mama Booker) & other smashing sessions. These will be mostly acoustic though, many were written for a new album, however many believe the album was "Confrontation". Either way you look at it, it's all good material! JAH Bless!
