Description

Truths And Rights is one of the defining roots reggae albums of the late 1970s and Johnny Osbourne's finest recording for the legendary Studio One label.

Pressing Notes

Original 1979 Jamaican Studio One pressing, catalogue number SOLP 0132. Pressed in Jamaica at the height of Studio One's roots reggae era, this original edition offers the warm, authentic analogue sound that collectors seek. Jamaican pressings were manufactured in relatively small quantities compared with overseas issues, making clean original copies increasingly difficult to find and highly desirable among reggae enthusiasts.
