Mighty Diamonds: Right Time
Penny Reel, NME, 29 May 1976
THE MIGHTY DIAMONDS emerged in the wake of the resurgence of interest in Burning Spear – "I and I, son of the Most High – Jah Ras Tafari; our hearts shall correspond and beat in one harmony. Sounds of the Burning Spear" – and their music reflects much of the mood, theme and ideology of Spear's own work.
