5 out of 5 stars Spiritual Music.......2001-11-09

I've been listening to reggae music since 1976, after seeing Bob Marley in London (his picture anyway). I got this album from a friend in about 1981 (the year Bob died) and I couldnt believe how trippy it was. Dreadlocks Dread is my favorite reggae albumn ever. The music seems to come out of the sky, or float up from the ground ... like out of your unconscious. The harmonica sound with whatever crude distortion they put on it... it kind of twists your brain a little, in a good way. I dont burn any more, and I dont need to, because when I listen to this music I feel irie, like a rastaman.
By the way, I saw Big Youth with U Roy a couple of years ago. Big Youth sounds EXACTLY the same live as he does on this record, which is strange because this music sounds so improvisational.

5 out of 5 stars Time Stands Still.......2001-02-26

Though I'm not particularly fond of dub, this album transcends category and is essential to any reggae collection. Smell the herb.

5 out of 5 stars bring it back for all to hear.......2000-09-15

Other than "Screaming Target," this is my favorite Big Youth lp, mixing his usual blend of irreverent humour ("Some Like It Dread" spoofing Goldlocks and the 3 Bears) with biting social commentary ("Marcus Garvey," "Train to Rhodesia,", and "Black Man Message" are all powerful tunes)over phat reggae grooves that to this day keep clubs rocking (I commonly mix Big Youth into my shows that I perform).

I would write more, but seeing as its not available to be had at the moment, it would be like a bad teasing. Big Youth is a legend, and this lp is one reason why. An enlightened prophet is he. Praise be to Jah.

5 out of 5 stars Perhaps the greatest reggae ever recorded.......2000-03-17

We used to do what Rastatarians do while listening to this record in the early eighties. The music's profundity became deeper each time we listened to it. on the works like Train to Rhodesia and Lightning Flash Dread..Absolutely criminal it is out of print/stock whatever.

5 out of 5 stars The Best Big Youth Album I Have Ever Heard!.......1999-01-10

I first got this album in about 1976 and absoulutely loved it. Iplayed it so much over the years that I wore it out! Manley Buchanan,also known as "Big Youth",backed by Flesh, Skin,and Bones Band,is at his best.I have been looking for this recording in cd for years.It really needs to be reissued.

5 out of 5 stars Youth's Best.......2002-12-18

This album is Big Youth's best by far. If you truly know reggae/dub, this CD must be a part of your collection. Incredible beats and toasting vocals - exactly what makes the Youth famous.

5 out of 5 stars This is my favorite reggae albumn.......2002-12-06

I've got lots of reggae albumns, but this is my favorite. It is soulful and mysterious and has grooves that noone else has even thought of. The band is called the Flesh and Bones Band and they are tremendous. The harmonica is haunting. Love it. Also love Third World's FIRST album... also has some haunting harmonica. But this albumn, Dreadlocks Dread, is really something special.
