On a trip that I took recently to Chicago, I stumbled on this album by legendary reggae artist, Max Romeo. From 1971, this appears to Max's second album. Early 70s reggae with a dash of reggae pop. For example, this album includes a version of Neil Diamond's Cracklin' Rosie and Wini Scott's Puppet On A String (which was also done and popularized in reggae circles by Jamaican singer Ken Boothe).
This LP contains two songs that are more 'roots' oriented. Specifically, Holla Zion and Macabee Version are tracks that are a little different from the reggae pop of the rest of the album.
