about

This album was put together to celebrate the great unsung stalwart of '70s reggae, the great Lizard Logan.

Lizard Logan is the backbone bass line of those seminal LPs 'Revenge of the Mozabites', 'Seven', 'India', 'Ark of the Arqans' and Creation Rebel. He was a joy to work with on Suns of Arqa's early forays into Germany and the Netherlands.

A tune Lizard loved to play at our soundchecks 'Meet the Boys on the Battlefront' was a song I learned from Willy DeVille while working in New York, mid '70s for Mink DeVille. We would never play this song at the gigs, as we thought it was not weird enough for SOA fans!! Not to mention the Northern Soul Classics we recorded for BOP cassettes 'White Band Speak with Forked Tongue' - the Darrell Banks song 'Open the Door to your Heart' is included for good measure.

Lizard was very reluctant to sing, so we are very lucky to have these classic tunes by Prince Buster, Toots and the Maytals, Jolly Brothers and Meditations.... with his sweet voice, and of course, those fabulous bass lines..... enjoy!
