“What A Hard Man Fe Dead” by The Prince Buster All Stars - album review
features in: Album Chart of 1967 ● Album Chart of the Decade: 1960s |
The first “new” Prince Buster LP in quite some time was a bit of a hodge-podge affair. The first half pools single sides from 1965-1966 (not on previous LPs), whilst the second half is virtually all brand new tunes. The odd-one-out curveball is “Ten Commandments” which had been a single way back in 1963. In all, there are nine Buster originals and three covers: “The Prophet” (Chuck Jackson, 1962); “My Girl” (The Temptations, 1964) and “Sad Song” (Otis Redding, 1966).
