Black Symbol are among the unsung heroes of British Reggae. During their heydey in the early 1980s, they not only released a handful of their own songs as singles (now highly sought after) but financed and released the two volumes of Handworth Explosion; records that documented and showcased so many talented local acts. They played countless shows, funded numerous recording sessions for local bands and singers and did everything possible to promote the music they and their fellow artists were creating. There can be few British bands whose back catalogue is so unknown by the masses and so deserving of an album release. Better late than never, three decades and more since they were recorded, Reggae Archive Records have gone through the singles, the Black Symbol tracks included on the two volumes of Handsworth Explosion and unreleased songs, to compile an album that will do Black Symbol's music justice and rightfully secure their place as on of Britain's most important and original reggae bands of the 1980's.
