Two Sevens Clash: The 30th Anniversary Edition Vinyl

Two Sevens Clash: The 30th Anniversary Edition is more than just a reggae album – it’s a fiery, mystical, and revolutionary call from the heart of 1970s Jamaica.

Released in 1977 and now reissued as this stellar 30th Anniversary Edition, it remains a cornerstone of roots reggae and Rastafarian prophecy. Tracks like “Two Sevens Clash,” “I’m Not Ashamed,” and “See Them a Come” pulsate with apocalyptic visions and spiritual resistance.

Frontman Joseph Hill, who led Culture with a preacher’s passion, claimed the title track came to him in a vision – and it shows. That opening wail of “What a liv an bamba yay…” still hits like thunder. The song foresaw 1977 as a year of reckoning, drawing on Marcus Garvey’s prophecies. The result? A whole city spooked into silence when July 7, 1977 rolled around. This wasn’t just music – it was mass consciousness.

But the album isn’t all fire and brimstone. Tracks like “I Am Not Ashamed” and “Get Ready to Ride the Lion to Zion” show Hill's gift for melody, offering hope and defiance in equal measure. The harmonies are lush, the rhythms relentless, and the messages eternal.

This 30th Anniversary reissue celebrates the legacy with remastered audio and bonus content that brings new dimension to a classic. Essential listening for reggae lovers and vinyl collectors alike.
