Don't Give Up Your Culture is the ninth release by Moll-Selekta -- an essential roots sampler with many brilliant and previously unreleased tracks by The Mighty Diamonds, Johnny Clarke, Jacob Miller, Horace Andy, Wayne Jarrett, Linval Thompson and Rod Taylor. This release features the "sweet high voices of Jamaica," especially characterized by the totally unknown Flick Wilson, with his exceptionally high falsetto voice. The title track with its roots & culture lyrics is a perfect example of the religious and political statements of the times. Beside The Aggrovators and Roots Radics, most of the tracks were recorded with the rather unknown Ring Craft Posse whose line up also included the essence of Jamaica's studio musicians. Recordings took place at Channel One, King Tubby's and Sinclair's own Mr. Tipsy studio in Kingston, Jamaica, between 1972 and 1984, the most important and most exiting years of reggae.
