On this last trip to Jamaica we found a treasure trove of Twelve Tribes of Israel flyers from the 1980s. The 12 Tribes are -- to quote Wikipedia -- "a Rastafari organization that accepets Yahshuwah The Messiyah/Yesus Kristos (Jesus) as Master and Saviour, and H.I.M Haile Selassie I as divinely choses by the Creator to represent him on earth."
The Twelve Tribes influence has been keenly felt in music with the 12 Tribes Orthodox label and such artists as Israel Vibration, The Visionaries and even Bob Marley. It turns out that they also made incredibly cool flyers! We were excited to find this cool collection of vintage flyers and we hope that you all enjoy them!
A few months ago we found this Manchez 7" and were simply blown away -- it is rare for us to find a record that we have NEVER seen and even rarer when that tune is simply brilliant. A total unknown, Manchez combined the urgency of such great 80s singjays as Courtney Melody, Half Pint and Pinchers to create this fiery slab of Digital Righteousness that rides over a driving version of MPLA! When we went to Jazzbo, he could barely remember who Manchez was but had no problem locating the tapes for us alongside a KILLER dub version. ENJOY!!!!!!!!!
