Only 66 Pressed in Addis (1975) – The Roots of Ras Ilahun

No, we didn’t find this record in a forgotten crate.
We created it — from memory, from reverence, from fire.

“Only 66 Pressed in Addis” isn’t a literal claim.
It’s a symbol. A story. A way of saying: this could have existed… and maybe it should have.
We use titles like this not to deceive — but to paint the world we’re drawing inspiration from.

🎙️ Ras Ilahun is a fictional roots prophet, but his message is real.
The sound is raw and dub-heavy, steeped in Nyabinghi spirit and Eastern African echoes.
This EP imagines what might have happened if roots reggae had pressed its soul onto vinyl in Ethiopia in 1975 — far from Kingston, yet guided by the same call to righteousness.

Only 66 pressed? Maybe.
Or maybe only 66 people were ready to listen.

🎛️ Created by our collective at 70’s Reggae Echo, this is part of a larger mission:
To craft original reggae music that feels like spiritual memory — not nostalgia.

Bless up and listen deep.

📼 Tracklist:
1. Lion’s Warning
His voice cuts like a horn through the fog of revolution.

2. Dread Psalms of the East
Scripture over skank, like incense over fire.

3. Addis Midnight Chant
Bassline deep as prayer, vocals like smoke through alleyways.

4. Zion Train Don’t Wait
A dub groove so slow it feels like time itself is hesitating.
