Remarks Island finally get round to making this wonderful Lee Perry / Black Ark production available again. Most will know it by the title Island gave it on its original UK release in 1977 as To Be A Lover, but in Jamaica Perry issued it as George Faith Super Eight sans proper LP cover, as depicted here, and that's how its presented now. It's Perry's smoothest production from the late Black Ark period, with soulful singer George Faith covering seven soul classics and one original composition across the hypnotic rhythms specially contructed by Perry and his crack team of Jamaican musicians for the project, an endless pulsating groove much in the style of the laid back groove Joseph Tarsia's Philadelphia based Sigma Sound Studio achieved for William DeVaughan and others at the time.
