Originally released in 1973, Grounation by Count Ossie & the Mystic Revelation of Rastafari stands as a landmark recording in reggae and Rastafari music. The album is a sweeping spiritual journey rooted in traditional Nyahbinghi drumming, blending instrumental passages, spoken word narration, and poetry into a deeply immersive listening experience.
This Soul Jazz Records reissue of Grounation presents the album as a triple LP, complete with full sleevenotes that provide valuable context for one of reggae's most ambitious works. Highlights include the epic title track spanning over 30 minutes, a beautiful rendition of Jackie Mittoo's "Drum Song," and powerful spoken word segments that offer authentic Rastafari reasoning — making this a must-own for fans of conscious reggae and world music alike.
