Le premier album de Burning Spear ( Wilson Rodney ) ; " Studio One Presents Burning Spear " est édité en Jamaïque sur le label Coxsone Records [ JA ] en Décembre 1972 . Il est réédité de suite toujours en Jamaïque , même label en 1973 , puis encore en 1978 avec plusieurs pochettes différentes , avant de paraître en Amérique sur le label Studio One SO LP 0150 [ US ] en 1980 puis avec un contenu légèrement différent toujours en Amérique , mais sous la forme d'un cd sur le label Studio One SOCD 0150 [ US ] en 1998 . Au risque de déplaire à certain , j'avoue me faire un petit plaisir en entamant la discographie de mon artiste préféré en matière de Reggae .

En 1987 Island Records publie le cd " 100th Anniversary : Marcus Garvey / Garvey's Ghost " CIDD 9377 [ UK ] dont voici la pochette .
