A sublime set of roots, vocal and dubbed out instrumental magic, Close Encounters Of The Third World is a real lost gem in the treasure-filled Creation Rebel back catalogue. A true cross-atlantic collaboration - initial rhythm tracks were laid down in London in 1978, with horns and vocals overdubbed at Channel One in Jamaica, before bandleader Crucial Tony returned to London with the tapes for the album to be mixed by a visiting Prince Jammy.

Originally released on pre-On-U Sound label Hitrun, and the second album released by the group chronologically. Unavailable for 45 years, it has been carefully pieced back together, for this new edition featuring extended 12" discomix versions of 'Beware' and 'Natty Conscience Free', re-cut by Frank Merritt at The Carvery.

Tracks:

Side A:
Know Yourself
Conspiring
Beware
Dangerous And Deadly

Side B:
Shouldn't Do That
Creation Fever
Natty Conscience Free
Joyful Noise
