Third World, Man

Third World “Journey to Addis”   (1978)   Including the hit reggae version of the O’Jays song “Now That We Found Love”, (which was later done as a rap song by Heavy D and the Boys).   Also on this record are the songs “Cool Meditation” “Journey To Addis”, “One Cold Vibe”, “Cold Sweat” and “African Woman”.   Nice island illustration.   I like the hemp lettering of the title too.
