Released in 1980, it finds Linton Kwesi Johnson blending measured spoken verse with heavyweight bass lines and stripped-back rhythm sections to confront racism, police violence and Black British life with clarity and force. The title track, along with songs such as Inglan Is A Bitch and Di Black Petty Booshwah, helped define Johnson’s reputation as one of the most incisive voices in British music. Its fusion of militant poetics and deep dub has kept the album central to reggae’s political history and to British protest culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\n    \n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Release tab content --\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist: \u003c\/strong\u003e Linton Kwesi Johnson\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/island-records-record-label\"\u003eIsland Records\u003c\/a\u003e – ILS-81415\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n          \n          \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat: \u003c\/strong\u003e LP, Album\u003c\/div\u003e\n          \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnits: \u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/vinyl-records-store-australia\/country_japan\"\u003eJapan\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReleased: \u003c\/strong\u003e  \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/all\/year_1980\"\u003e1980\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenre: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/reggae-vinyl-records\"\u003eReggae\u003c\/a\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \n            \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/dub-poetry\"\u003eDub Poetry\u003c\/a\u003e, \n          \n            \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/reggae\"\u003eReggae\u003c\/a\u003e\n          \n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Tracklist tab content --\u003e\n  \n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eA1 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Linton+Kwesi+Johnson+Bass+Culture\"\u003eBass Culture\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA2 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Linton+Kwesi+Johnson+Street+66\"\u003eStreet 66\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA3 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Linton+Kwesi+Johnson+Reggae+Fi+Peach\"\u003eReggae Fi Peach\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA4 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Linton+Kwesi+Johnson+Di+Black+Petty+Booshwah\"\u003eDi Black Petty Booshwah\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB1 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Linton+Kwesi+Johnson+Inglan+Is+A+Bitch\"\u003eInglan Is A Bitch\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB2 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Linton+Kwesi+Johnson+Loraine\"\u003eLoraine\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB3 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Linton+Kwesi+Johnson+Reggae+Sounds\"\u003eReggae Sounds\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB4 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Linton+Kwesi+Johnson+Two+Sides+Of+Silence\"\u003eTwo Sides Of Silence\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n  \n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"Island Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50598599327809,"sku":"9783673","price":95.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1474\/5258\/files\/MTMtMzgzMy5qcGVn_NPH5Rn9.jpg?v=1790924846","url":"https:\/\/www.dutchvinyl.com.au\/products\/linton-kwesi-johnson-bass-culture-341038","provider":"Dutch Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
