Ras Michael & The Sons Of Negus: Disarmament (Trojan)
Mark Cooper, Record Mirror, 16 January 1982
DISARMAMENT IS a surprise – perhaps the first reggae album to openly confront the threat of nuclear warfare with the power of Jah Love while simultaneously demonstrating Ras Michael, that old campaigner, at his very best.
