Talisman - Dole Age: The 1981 Reggae Collection LP
SKU: LANR016
Description:
The city of Bristol has undoubtedly a rich reggae heritage. The
criminally neglected Talisman finally benefits of a long overdue
release, collecting their first efforts plus a series of extra
tracks. You’ll get their first two singles released on Recreational
Records – Run Come Girl/Wicked Dem and Dole Age/Free Speech, both
released in 1981 – plus a selection of five long lost contribution.
Originally formed in 1977 as Revelation Rockers, a name they soon
changed, Talisman were considered the top reggae act in town
alongside local contemporaries Black Roots. The band – popular for
their intense live shows – opened for such glorious and diverse
acts as Burning Spear, The Clash and The Rolling Stones! This
proper release on vinyl allows a new generation of fans to catch
with their original style. Talisman certainly shows a different
side of the UK reggae flourishing scene – think about Aswad, Steel
Pulse and Misty In Roots – putting Bristol back on the map!
