Junior Murvin, along with co-writer / producer Lee Perry, created a certifiable reggae classic in 'Police and Thieves'. covered by the Clash and symbolic of its time - musically and politically, the song is the centrepiece of an album considered by reggae fans to be one of the greatest albums of the genre. Murvin sings powerful, intense lyrics with a sweet-sounding falsetto voice, while Lee Perry frames the songs with dark, almost haunted tempos, sharp guitar work and seemingly bottomless reverb. Murvin mixes British / Jamaican angst and fury with gospel fervour, and the tunes stick with you long after the album stops.
