A most welcome re-issue that has not been available for some 23 years. Third World went on to find world-wide fame with their distinctive fusion of reggae, soul and disco, this remains my favourite album of theirs by far. '96 degrees in the shade' and 'journey to addis', both had great material thereon, but neither as strong in a pure roots style. So few reggae acts were a self contained 'band', as such, and this enabled them to find their sound, which would be further developed as they progressed. But, as a starting point, this is an essential reggae record. #credit, therefore to carolina records, who have released this on licence along with a number of other attractive titles by culture, burning spear and the heptones. The focus at the onset of the album is on covers of two of reggae's most iconic songs - the Abyssinians'Satta Amasa Gana' and Burning Spear's 'Slavery Days', and in each case they produce an excellent version, whilst stamping their own identity on the song. a brave opening, followed by the strong 'brand new beggar'. then follows the two least reggae-like tracks on show, the funky chant 'cross reference', and the soulful, mournful 'got to get along, which was, and still is my favourite track on here. #the record closes as strongly as it opens, with two belters, 'sun won't shine', and the sublime 'freedom song' (think a jamaican earth wind and fire). The disc is supplemented by a host of bonus tracks culled from the same period. #first up is the very first single 'Don't Cry on the Railroad Track' which is a kinda hurried sounding soul/roots mishmash, and while it's not bad, wouldn't have fitted onto the album. #much better is 'rainbow love', from where i don't know, but the funk/roots works well. #the remainder are all related to the album - a more inventive than you might expect dub of 'satta amasa gana, an alternative, but equally good take of 'slavery days', the same of 'got to get along' and three additional dubs in longform (all 5 mins plus) that are fairly unique in construction, and quite compelling in nature, excellent in fact. #the purpose of these, however is puzzling as no singles were released from the album (outside Jamaica at any rate), and they don't fit easily into the ideals of a sound system dub plate. This is turning into a classic year for reggae re-issues and 'lost' albums. Kudos to carolina records.

My husband loves these shirts
Color: Dark Blue, Size: Large
My husband just loves these shirts. He has one in every color, I think. Great quality, good price, breathable, true to color, and super comfy. Nice enough to wear to a nice dinner but can be dressed down w a pair of shorts and flip flops. By far the best find I have found!

Shrink-wrapped shirt???
Color: Clear Blue, Size: X-Large
This shirt arrived in a vacuum packed clear package which caused wrinkles in the synthetic material.
Instructions to remove the wrinkles are to run the shirt through a wash cycle. Well, that didn't work! I'm hoping a dry cleaning service can steam press the wrinkles out.
Aside from that issue it is a very nice shirt. Sizing good. Fabric thickness and material are very good. Because it is made from polyester and spandex shrinkage will not be an issue.

Great size and cut for an athletic build.
Color: Dark Blue, Size: Medium
I have purchased about a dozen different Coofandy long-sleeve and short-sleeve shirts and I absolutely love them. I'm 5'6" and 175 lbs with an athletic build and I wear a medium from this company. For an average build, they may seem a little "undersized", but if your looking for a shirt that really shows your physique these are perfect. I'm normally a Vuori guy for my athletic cut clothing, but these shirt are one quarter the price, a really nice cut, comfortable, and decent quality. They are cheap enough that I added a host of different colors to my wardrobe.
