Product Description

Description
1977's 96 DEGREES IN THE SHADE was Third World's US breakthrough album. Released at the height of American interest in reggae, the album also happens to be considerably more pop-oriented than the group's earlier excursions. From this pointon, this Kingston-based group pulled off the tricky balanceof roots reggae, Rasta proselytizing, and R&B-based pop song structures better than just about anyone, with the possible exception of Michael Rose-era Black Uhuru.
The title track, concerning the emancipation of the American slaves, is one of the group's most popular songs, and was a mainstay ofits live set for the rest of its career. While not everything on the album is equal to that particular triumph, the quietly seething "Human Market Place" and "Third World Man" areamong the group's most powerful songs.

5.0 out of 5 stars this is reggae of epic, classical scale, 1 Sep 2006
buy this - play this
listen to jah glory melt into tribal war
deep, meaningful, political yet light and rhythmic, instrumental and harmonious
this is an album seeped with soul
this is one of the finest reggae albums
It has no relevance to later pop orientated recordings by this band

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent album, 28 Nov 2006
Yes I agree with ralphdogmusiclover's review above, don't let the dodgy recordings this band did in the 80's put you off. This is a superb reggae album. Often dismissed by reggae snobs as middle class reggae due to the privileged background of the band. This early Third World album is a gem. Slick production, sing along lyrics, and the whole album flows like a well thought out sound scape with excellent musician-man-ship. Its almost like a piece of classical music in the way it all flows and connects together. Whilst most reggae albums are a collection of the singles released by an artist this is a full concept album. One of my favourite albums, it almost leans towards pop reggae in production quality, think more Island records Wailer's albums than say the rough sounds of early Lee Perry albums.
Would suit someone new to reggae who's just finished listening to Bob Marley's Ledged album .... But is also so much more

5.0 out of 5 stars reggae what make your heart chill mon !, 22 Sep 2008
By T. Eastwood (Guildford,U.K.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is some of the most soothing reggae you're likely to hear ( sort of 'night nurse' ( Greg Isaacs ) like in a way ) and yet has the menacing rhythm of the slaver british system skanking in the backyard.
If you want to chill to intelligent music not for de babylon people. This is the one for you, true; sticks to the soul like glue. Harmony mon !
