5.0 out of 5 stars Spear's greatest album 14 April 2006
By Chris Glenn
Format:Audio CD
To these ears without a shadow of a doubt Burning Spear's best album - the original vinyl is supplemented by two bonus tracks including the 12" cut of the title track. Spear's vocals at their most impassioned and committed. The music is possibly the most imaginative to be found on a reggae album - there is a deep, multilayered quality to the backings that make it sound like dub and funk. Lots of horns and keyboards give the album a really full sound - compare this to what to my mind are the somewhat thin backing tracks on the Marcus Garvey album.

This is the kind of album which would get an honorary 6 star review such is the quality on every level.

5.0 out of 5 stars Re-release of this seminal classic. 27 April 2001
By 11359986@qub.ac.uk
Format:Audio CD
A fantastic album from perhaps the very best, and often overlooked, roots bands of all time. This is reggae how it should be played. Amazing. Nine storming anthems of ghetto suffering.

4.0 out of 5 stars physical07 10 Oct 2012
By Physical07

Social Living is a good cd, I used the 12" single that was released at the time to audition my first serious hi-fi system. Another one for those who are into or getting into roots Reggae music.
