  Handsworth Revolution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Handsworth Revolution is a reggae album by Steel Pulse.
It is named after the Handsworth district of Birmingham, England, the band's home.
The album reached ninth spot in the British LP charts in just ten days after its release and the band had arrived big-time, attracting both white and fl audiences in droves and were soon to support the legendary Bob Marley and The Wailers on a European tour in June and July 1978.

 Steel Pulse : Handsworth Revolution - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
Though the subtly jazzy swing that would later become explicit was already informing Steel Pulse's groove, the band's first album seemed not at all interested in generating anything like a party atmosphere.
Handsworth Revolution is about politics first and religion second, with a quick nod to the dance ("Sound System") and another to the herb ("Macka Splaff") and not a single love lyric to be found anywhere.
This gives the music a certain intellectual urgency, and the band's instrumental virtuosity is impressive given its youth and relatively inexperience.

I'd forgotten just how good this album is! A blast from the past, Handsworth Revolution resurrects the spirit of the time; Rock Against Racism marches, Anti Nazi League protests all rounded up with a party of punks, dreads and like minded people in unison!
Enough nostalgia, Steel Pulse's Handsworth Revolution has stood the test of time; smooth vocals over original dub bass representing the struggle of that era all contribute to an album which should be hailed as a reggae classic.
Seven great reggae musicians from all over north Birmingham, ie,Lozells, Handsworth and Handsworth Wood, got together to create an unforgettable sound that is true to the roots of Jamaican reggae, unlike the over-commercialised offerings of UB40 and Aswad throught the 1980s (although both bands did strive for authenticity on their first couple of albums).

The disc gathers 20 years' worth of Steel Pulse's vision, representing some of the group's biggest hits, but some of its best compositions (such as 'Rally Round') are glaringly absent.
No worries, though--the ability to hear 'Handsworth Revolution,' 'Ku Klux Klan,' 'Babylon Makes the Rules,' and 'Uncle George' (Steel Pulse's tribute to Soledad Brother George Jackson) on a single CD compensates for the omissions.
The compilation starts off with the title track of Steel Pulse's 1978 debut, "Handsworth Revolution," followed by the angry and beautiful "Ku Klux Klan," and the latin-tinged "Prediction".
