Is this the best reggae record ever made? Well, there are an awful lot of them and I ain't heard them all by a wide, wide, wide margin but - MAN! I love this hugely.
So did Johnny Rotten, apparently. And Messrs Strummer & Jones also felt moved to mention 'The doctor who was born for a purpose' in 'Rudie Can't Fail'...
But don't take anyone else's word for it - that's not very punk, is it?
Listen for yourself!
Dr. Alimantado - 'Born For A Purpose/Reason For Living' (1976)
