Blessed be the man that Walketh not In the counsel of the
Ungodly. Nor standeth in the ways of Sinners. Nor sitteth
in the seat of the Scornful. For I delight is in RAC
Therefore I&I must be like a tree Planted by the rivers
of Water. And bringeth forth Fruit in due season.
And what so ever I doeth shall Prosper
The weakhearted are Not so, Oh no!
They are like the Chaff that the wind Driveth away.
Therefore no weakheartman Shall stand in the Judgement
Nor no Sinners in the congregation of the Righteous.
RAC knoweth the ways of the Righteous
And know that the ways of the Weakheart shall crumble,
paralyse and Burn

:.: Notes And Comments About The Release :.:
';: ........................................... :;`
' `
The German reissue label Moll-Selekta compiled this batch of
songs over 20 years after Ansel Collins put them to tape at
the legendary Channel One studio in Kingston with the
Revolutionaries, a band featuring Sly & Robbie. At the time
Collins recorded these 15 songs in 1979, he was at an
artistic peak, and it certainly didn't hurt that he was
working with Sly & Robbie at Channel One while they too were
at a peak. Once you consider these two factors, you can see
why Moll-Selekta went out of its way to compile these
previously unreleased songs, about half of which feature
vocals, and about half of those featuring Collins on vocals.
Yet the music itself is what's so precious about these songs
rather than the vocals: Robbie drives each song with his
unmistakable bass lines and Collins colors each with his
keyboards. Sure, some of the songs sound undeveloped in
regard to songwriting, but it's the music rather than the
songwriting that's so staggering. The songs on Jamaican
Gold, some of which appear in multiple versions, sound very
much of their time. And that's precisely what's so grand
about the songs ù if there was a time and place when reggae
was at its prime, it very likely would be in 1979 at Channel
One. Reggae doesn't get much better than this: Sly on drums,
Robbie on bass, and Collins on keyboards at the premier
Jamaican studio of its era.
