Talisman

Dole Age

Fully remastered and licensed, limited to 500 copies. The city of Bristol has undoubtedly a rich reggae heritage. The criminally neglected Talisman finally benefits of a long overdue release, collecting their first efforts plus a series of extra tracks. You'll get their first two singles released on Recreational Records - 'Run Come Girl'/'Wicked Dem' and 'Dole Age'/'Free Speech,' both released in 1981 - plus a selection of five long lost contributions. Originally formed in 1977 as Revelation Rockers, a name they soon changed, Talisman were considered the top reggae act in town alongside local contemporaries Black Roots. The band - popular for their intense live shows - opened for such glorious and diverse acts as Burning Spear, The Clash and The Rolling Stones! This proper release on vinyl allows a new generation of fans to catch with their original style. Talisman certainly shows a different side of the UK reggae flourishing scene - think about Aswad, Steel Pulse and Misty In Roots - putting Bristol back on the map!
