The momentum Burning Spear had built up with their American releases on the Island Records' subsidiary Mango in the mid-'70s, particularly 1975's Marcus Garvey, dissipated later in the decade and in the early '80s when the band left Island and recorded on their own or for British EMI, with the albums Social Living (aka Marcus' Children ) and Hail H.I.M. not earning stateside release. But in 1982, the year after Bob Marley 's death, Heartbeat Records leased Burning Spear's next album, Farover, giving Winston Rodney and company their first American issue since 1978's Live!
