The Abyssinians debut album has had a very complex release history.[4] The first unofficial editions, very limited in quantity, were released by Clive Hunt in 1975. The first official release occurred in Jamaica in 1976 on Pentrate Label, issued by Clive Hunt and Geoffrey Chung, and shortly after in the United States on Jam Sounds.
The following years, 1977 and 1978, saw the album released by three labels under the title Forward On To Zion. The album was released in the United Kingdom on the UK Klik Chart Sounds and Different labels, as well as on Bernard Collins’ own Clinch label. Similarly, Clive Hunt’s US-based Azul label released the album under the title Satta. A note on track-listings: the Klik & Different releases reverted to the original track listing of the limited pre-release editions which placed the title track as the final track, furthermore, the Azul edition renamed some tracks and did not include “African Race”.[5]
The album would see numerous re-releases over the next decade, including in 1988 by Clinch and in 1989 by the Blue Moon label.
In 1993 the album was released on compact disc for the first time by Heartbeat Records. This edition included four previously unreleased bonus tracks.[3] And once again in 2007 as a deluxe edition which included four additional bonus tracks.
The title track off the album ‘Satta Massagana’ was covered by Ethiopian dub outfit Dub Colossus in 2011 and released on Real World Records.
Composed in 1968, “Satta Massagana” featured the vocal trio that helped to define the most devout strains of Jamaica’s then-emergent reggae sound. Producer Clement “Coxsone” Dodd brought the Abyssinians (Bernard Collins and the Manning brothers, Donald and Lynford) into the studio to record the song, whose Old Testament inspiration and Ethiopian linguistic sampling spoke to roots reggae’s Rastafari foundations. But the somber, slowed-down groove and the obscure spiritual references made Dodd think the results would leave Jamaican audiences cold. Undeterred, the Abyssinians bought the master, released it on their own, and proved Dodd wrong; indeed, “Satta Massagana” entered the devotional canon of Rastafari congregations around Jamaica.
Taping at Studio One and Federal Records, the Abyssinians followed in short order with Collins’ equally successful “Declaration of Rights,” “Leggo Beast,” and “Black Man’s Strain”-along with Lynford’s “Abendigo,” “I and I,” “Reason Time,” and “Y Mas Gan,” and Donald’s “African Race,” “Jerusalem,” and “Peculiar Number.” All are heard here, with informative notes by Chris Wilson. Satta Massagana is nothing less than a reggae classic, and-backed by noted Kingston studio musicians including Robbie Shakespeare, Sly Dunbar, and Earl “Chinna” Smith-after nearly four decades the album’s fourteen original tracks (plus four additional previously released tracks on this 2006 CD reissue) reveal the trio’s lovely harmonies, loping percussive groove, and spare instrumentation, as fresh and sublime as ever. – Michael Stone
