{"product_id":"israel-vibration-iv","title":"Israel Vibration - IV","description":"\u003cp\u003eThree harmony singers who met as children recovering from polio, Israel Vibration had been making roots reggae of rare conviction for fifteen years by the time IV arrived in 1993.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCecil 'Skelly' Spence, Albert 'Apple Gabriel' Craig and Lascelle 'Wiss' Bulgin first crossed paths at a rehabilitation clinic in Jamaica, and their music never lost that sense of hard-won survival. After a long gap between albums in the eighties, the trio found a second wind on the RAS label, releasing a steady run of records into the nineties. IV belongs to that fertile stretch, and it is the sound of a group comfortable in its strengths, with all three original voices still together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe rhythms are heavy and unhurried, built for long nights and big speakers, with those three voices weaving around each other in a distinctive, slightly raw blend. Falling Angel has a mournful sway, while Hard Times speaks plainly about struggle without losing its melodic lift. Naw Give Up the Fight is pure Rasta resilience set to a rolling groove, and Thank You Jah offers a heartfelt note of gratitude.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe lyrics stay rooted in faith and endurance, sung by people who had lived every word.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor collectors of nineties roots reggae, this is a rewarding chapter in one of the genre's most remarkable stories.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57351063142705,"sku":"3760434483677","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Israel_Vibration-IV.jpg?v=1793977022","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/israel-vibration-iv","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
