Product Description
Product Description
Culture's debut album and one of the finest reggae albums ever released. Originally released in 1977, Joseph Hill's new vocal trio captured the pressure of social and econimic life and the growing spirit of Rastafari in Kingston, Jamaica. His vision of 1977 as a year of judgement - when Two Sevens Clash - when past injustices would be avenged, reached much futher than Jamaica and reggae circles making this one of the albums of the year. Still as vital as ever in the 21st Century, TWO SEVENS CLASH stands-out as a landmark album setting a new standard for reggae music. An inspired work of enduring power.

One of the best ever roots albums. These sounds were everywhere when released,and crossed over making this album popular with dreads and punks alike. Championed by john Peel and part of the soundtrack to 1977 if you wernt there then get this to get da flava,if you were then get it to remember. The best in roots harmonies.

Firstly, and foremostly Joseph Hill was a legend, a genius and a great ambassador for world peace. He lives on through the music of Culture, probably no more than through this incredible album of pure beauty. The lyrics are sung with exquisite passion, the music and melodies are so uplifting that it is impossible not to get swept away. Joseph had that rare ability - to sing of oppression and social injustice with a smile, but without diminishing in any way his statement of intent. This album sat proudly next to my Punk collection back in '77 and it's as outstanding now as it was back then. But don't stop here, Culture made around 22 albums. Save your pennies and get Culture'd.

If so, you'll be sure to find consolation in the words and music of the song of the same name in Culture's legendary CD. Nothing much can really be added to the global praise of this near hypnotic music. It belongs to the period when reggae was truly King. Yes, in the 1970's we came close to Natty Dread Taking Over. Not standard dancehall ragga so it merits a high level of mental attention. It's as close as reggae ever came to a spiritual mass for the living (with a few other instances of Jamaican inspiration, for sure). Jah Arise!

Great music, great memories
This is an album that I grew up with, but lost along the way. So glad that I can listen to it again and unlike some music it's as fresh as ever.

King Of The Hill
Culture's 1977 debut album Two Sevens Clash was, for me, the highlight of a period, roughly covering the mid-1970s to mid-1980s, when the public profile of reggae music in the UK... Read more

One of the best from the 70s
A wonderful album when it came out and remains so to this day. No Reggae collection would be complete without it. My favourite track on this is Two Sevens Clash.

The Peel Sessions
The best thing Culture ever did was the 'Too Long in Slavery' Peel sessions, free of over production and note perfect from beginning to end. Read more
