Publishers: A1, A3: Jec Publishing Co., BMI A2, B1, B2, B3: Maestro Publishing Co., BMI ℗ 1974 BASF Systems A product of BASF Systems, a division of BASF-Wyandotte Corporation, Bedford, Mass. 01730 Recorded under the supervision of Baldhard Falk in Kingston, Jamaica Made in U.S.A. Liner Notes: "A native Jamaican expatriate named MONTY ALEXANDER returns to Kingston to play music with his local friends... Music which isn't really heard any more there in any serious context. Monty presents us with a very basic new side of his musical talents. Giving most of the tunes a distinctive Reggae treatment, he has created an album that reaches deeply into soul, jazz and West Indian folklore. Rhythm dominates these sessions... Sometimes heavy, sometimes light... But omnipresently interpersed with dialogue between Monty and his good friend ERNEST RANGLIN, probably the most undiscovered guitarist in the world. You may want to know what "Rāss" means? It is a very special West Indian expression of exclamation. Certainly, this whole album exclaims: Rāss!"
