A 12-inch single that embodies the spirit of roots reggae
Considered one of Max Romeo's finest recordings, this is a powerful work that embodies the essence of reggae.
Originally released in 1977, "Melt Away" is known as Max Romeo's signature roots vocal cut. The B-side, "Break the Hold," offers a contrasting charm as a funky cut, allowing listeners to enjoy his many facets on one album. With lyrics that incorporate Rastafari ideology and social messages, and impressive powerful vocals, this is an important work in the 1970s reggae scene.
