Tapper Zukie, "Pick up the Rockers"

KOSMO's VINYL of the Week:
This week it's back to Jamaica for Tapper Zukie's "Pick Up The Rockers", from his 1976 LP "MPLA"...

"In London in 1976, a punk/rasta rebel alliance seemed to have been formed, although in retrospect this was probably more of a punk rock perception than a Rastafarian one. "Tapper Zukie's "MPLA" LP, on the Klik label, seemed to be blasting from every reggae record shop and a few more besides. For me, it remains one of the crucial sounds of a very special summer, as tough today as it was back then. If you went to see The Clash live at the time, this is what you would have heard before the show." - KV
