5.0 out of 5 stars A milestone for reggae music 20 Feb 2001
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
This album is a milestone in the development of reggae music. It demonstrated that although the sound of British reggae was different to the sounds coming from Jamaica, it was as thought provoking and melodic as anything the Wailers produced. Simply this album put British reggae on the map. It will always be a vital and enjoyable musical experience.

5.0 out of 5 stars A world classic 13 Feb 2005
Format:Audio CD
I've read and agreed with everything the other reviewers have said about this Roots/Dub masterpiece,the only things I can add is that this album is one of THE greatest ever,in or out of the UK.It stands shoulder to shoulder with anything by Burning Spear,Culture,U-Roy,LKJ,Augustus Pablo....I could go on.
One word of caution though,after purchasing this album you will own Steel Pulse' best recordings by a country mile.

5.0 out of 5 stars handsworth revisited 27 Aug 2002
Format:Audio CD
I'd forgotten just how good this album is! A blast from the past, Handsworth Revolution resurrects the spirit of the time; Rock Against Racism marches, Anti Nazi League protests all rounded up with a party of punks, dreads and like minded people in unison! Enough nostalgia, Steel Pulse's Handsworth Revolution has stood the test of time; smooth vocals over original dub bass representing the struggle of that era all contribute to an album which should be hailed as a reggae classic.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Milestone...as a previous reviewer said.
'Handsworth Revolution' is beautiful music...and it's hard...and it's heavy. It's British Blacks peed off with oppression. Read more

For me this is a watershed English reggae album. Like early seventies Marley, you can swim along with the music and enjoy the roll. Listen to the lyrics and it is something else. Read more

This album was the first reggae purchase I made thanks to John Peel (radio dj) who supported the band with airtime to help get this album recognised. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Birmingham meets the rockers uptown
Few people have acknowledged the fact that Steel Pulse predicted the Handsworth Riots three years before they happened with this visionary, melodic but gritty album. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars No rest in Birmingham
In the late 1970s, amid the hurricane of the new wave, Steel Pulse were seen as the UK reggae band most likely to mix it with other newcomers, and were hardly ever out of the NME. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars 'The' classic British reggae album
Birmingham's Steel Pulse provided us with the only truly great British reggae album of the last 30 years in 1978's Handsworth Revolution. Read more
