For The Love Of Money ist ein verlorenes Afro-Disco-Boogie-Reggae-Meisterwerk des liberianischen Duos Zack & Geebah. BBE Music verleiht dem Album im Rahmen seines Tabansi-Gold-Neuauflageprojekts eine hochwertige Neuauflage auf schwerem Vinyl mit Originalartwork, die zum ersten Mal weltweit außerhalb der 1980er-Jahre in Nigeria erscheint. Boogie-Klassiker wie 'For The Love Of Money' und 'No Peace No Love' treffen auf den Insel-Funk-Sound von 'Take It Easy' und den Toots-angehauchten Funk-Reggae 'Home Is Home'.

This release represents the first original Zion Train album in 5 years and features 9 vocalists alongside the extremely talented musicians. Vocalists include Cara, Michel Grena Prince Jamo and Rider Shafique whilst amongst the musicians are such luminaries as
Paolo Baldini, Don Fe and Gianni Denitto.

Zion Train are working alongside the Stop Ecocide and Extinction Rebellion campaigns with the release of this music to help attempts to build a brighter future for our planet - to this end they are reprinting the Leap Manifesto authored by Naomi Klein and friends with this release.

New studio album from Zion Train, featuring the world renowned Zion Train brass section, along with three passionate, politically aware songs from singer Cara Jane Murphy, and featuring Paolo Baldini playing guitar and bass on several tracks - alongside veteran musicians Trinny Fingers, Blacka Wilson, Dreada One and (from Crete) Professor Skank. For this album Zion Train return to their roots, with copious amounts of analogue Dub mixing performed by producer Neil Perch on his vintage TAC Scorpion desk. Artwork is by the acclaimed anarchist artist Marko Gin from Croatia.One of the most unique and enjoyable live dub acts on the planet, their use of dynamic onstage dub mixing whilst performing alongside acoustic instruments and exceptional vocalists, make Zion Train one of a kind.

In summer 2023 Zion Train released the critically acclaimed album "Dissident Sound" which was heavily featured by the likes of Don Letts and magazines "Mint" and "Riddim". Now tracks from the album have been reworked and will be released on the Spring Equinox. The vinyl will feature remixes from Paolo Baldini, Dub FX, Insintensi, and Professor Skank. Artwork designed by Mark Vojnic of the Zagreb Design University.

Following the release of the 'Politrix' Zion Train now concentrate on positive alternatives with the release of this uplifting ode to positivity, featuring Cara on vocals alongside a beautiful brass section and uptempo militant rhythm.
Released on 7inch vinyl - there will also be a fantastic video produced by David Tesic of Zagreb…
