Immi Version
Top a Top 80's Roots tune ! Must be known for all reggae lover's !
Paketo Wilson's 'Immigration' is a hymn to freedom from the Kingston, Jamaica-born artist. It first arrived on the Child of God label in 1982 and is one of the self-declared "positive rastaman"'s finest tunes. He was introduced to music by his father and through watching them play managed to pick up his own skills with no formal turning. His career began at age 16 when he played concerts all around the island with the New Vibration Band before going solo with Daddy U-Roy's King Stur Gav Sound System. Now back in its original form, 'Immigration' is a tune that remains as relevant now as ever.
This is the reissue of the first ever version of Immigration, originally released on the Child of God label in 1982. It was restored and remastered by the wonderful Jessica Thompson, a GRAMMY-nominated mastering and restoration engineer based in the SF Bay Area, and pressed at Deepgrooves, a green and eco-friendly pressing plant in The Netherlands.
