Things You Should Know Regarding Burning Spear Vinals

By Laura Gallagher


For four decades, there have been numerous Burning spear vinals that were released in the market. There are collectors nowadays that are looking for the original pressings of these records. Since these came from a well-known artist from the early 1970's, there are really many titles to choose from.

Burning Spear started out as a trio back in 1969. The group was named after the military award given by the Kenyan President. They were able to release some records over the years until they decided to separate and go solo. Winston Rodney, the original member, still uses the name of the group even when he went solo.

He was born and raised in Jamaica. He came from St. Ann where Marcus Garvey and Bob Marley also came from. These two influenced him in different ways. Garvey influenced his philosophy while the other one influenced him with his musical career. The latter even helped him to start in the industry.

Even though his music is less known compared to Bob Marley's, it still affected his standing in the industry where he earned a spot. The songs' messages were greatly focused on the ideals of the Rastafarian movement. They also represent the authentic reggae roots.

Rodney's encounter with Bob Marley started his career in music. He told Marley that he likes to make some music and be in the business when they met. During that conversation, the latter told him to go to Studio One where later on, he got to record his first album.

From then on, he was able to record numerous albums in various record labels. Some of his songs received nominations in the Grammy Awards and acknowledgments from many artist guilds. During his forty years in the industry, he was also able to tour extensively around the world.

Today, originals and re-presses of burning spear vinals are available in various places. They can be bought in many stores and online sites. There are also auctions held where these items are sold to the highest bidder.
