Named after the Alton Ellis’ song ‘Black Man’s Pride’, the 18-track double album includes “both classic cuts and super rare tunes” many of which “come from the transitory phase in reggae at the start of the 1970s after the exhilaration of ska and following the cool down of rocksteady,” according to Soul Jazz.

A looped version of ‘Black Man’s Pride’ was the soundtrack to the final piece of the Infinite Mix last year at Store Studios.

Black Man’s Pride is out 3rd November 2017. Listen to a 1983 version of Alton Ellis’ ‘Black Man’s Pride’ and check out the track list below.
