By Laura Gallagher


There are many Burning spear vinals that have been released in over forty years. Collectors and fans of the artist are mostly searching for the originals nowadays. Because the artist have been in the industry for many years, there are a lot of titles to pick or search for.

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 came from the town of St. Ann in Jamaica. This is the same town where two of his greatest influences, Bob Marley and Marcus Garvey, also came from. Garvey is a political activist whose philosophy was looked up to by Rodney while Marley directly helped him to get started in music.

Although his songs are not as wide-spread and well-known as that of Bob Marley's, it still gave him his own spot in the music world. His messages express the Rastafarian philosophy and they are embodied in his songs. These songs also display the authentic roots of reggae.

The beginning of his career happened with his conversation with Marley. He told the guy that he wanted to be a musical artist when they met in the same town they were born in. After he expressed his desires, he was told by the latter that he can head to Studio One. This place turned out to be the place where he recorded his first classical albums.

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.

burning spear vinals are still available nowadays whether enthusiasts prefer the originals or the re-presses. There are still music stores that sell these and other online shops. There are also some collectors that are putting them up for auctions.
