    From the label that brought you "The Bristol Reggae Explosion" comes a reissue of classic material Talisman from their peak in 1981!

    Originally formed in 1977 as Revelation Rockers, Talisman were consummate performers not only vying with Black Roots for the title of Bristol's number one reggae act, but also one of the country's most popular live bands. The band's prowess earned them support slots with acts as diverse as Burning Spear, The Clash and The Rolling Stones and they were more than capable of playing in such esteemed company.

    Not only does the CD contain the band's two original 7" singles, but also seven carefully selected live cuts from classic shows at Glastonbury and Bath University. This is the first time on CD for this material and is also the first proper release of any kind for the live tracks.

    The limited edition LP is effectively a completely different release featuring the full extended 12" mixes of both singles in their entirety as well as the previously unreleased "Nitty Gritty". As with the label's previous foray into the local reggae scene, which incidentally also features tracks from Talisman, this release allows a new generation to hear some great  music and strongly makes the case that there was a lot more to the UK reggae scene than Aswad, Steel Pulse and Misty In Roots, Bristol was rocking just as hard as London or Birmingham and Talisman were a large part of the reason why!
