Man From Bozrah - LP

Tapper Zuke's 'Man From Bozrah' album still stands up today many years after its initial release, as only great music seems to do. Tapper was one of the few Jamaican artists in the late 1970's that crossed over with emerging punk/new wave audiences.

Punk poet Patti Smith had practiced her poetry over the rhythms from Tapper Zukies 'Man Ah Warrior' album, before reworking the songs with her band. Acknowledging this influence, she bought Tapper on stage with her at the Hammersmith Odeon on 23 October 1976 and introduced Tapper to a whole new audience. An audience that accepted Reggae as a music that also dealt with great struggle.

The awesome cover shot shows Tapper standing at the back gates of the school yard in Trench town which was opposite his own yard, so sit back and hear what was happening back then that made this such a time defining album.
