"Own: UK pressing from 1978 called Forward On To Zion (aka "satta"), Different records. Exemplary mid-tempo Reggae, beautifully done all round, no stretching out. Boys look sharp on the back cover. Title-cut ftw." Reply

"Literally the best reggae record I've ever heard. Sunny harmonies, beautiful melodies, and stunning songwriting. Heartwarming, really. It just wants to be your friend. Why refuse?" Reply

"Bill Nelson was eminent as songwriter, vocalist and guitarist. A very underrated group and this album has good melodies, surprising breaks and is an interesting listen all through! Modern music , the album that followed it is almost equally good!" Reply
"Very good album even though Wishbone Ash weren't as much of a "prog" band anymore, but that is forgiven when you hear those twin guitars!" Reply
