Bond Export has released a solid 12" by Creole. Creole's earlier 45 rpm from 1978, "Beware", has floated around for years and was readily available a while back. That single was fairly popular as a repress. This single, however, is new to me. The B side, Walls of Jericho, is a quality cut and the better of the two sides. Walls of Jericho starts off fast and uptempo but then shifts downs a gear to a solid roots skank with a piercing horn chart that sounds a wee bit off key. In other words, it is perfect! The A side, Fishers of Man, is solid but does not capture me as much as the B-side. Overall, a good release and worthy of a place in your roots reggae box.
