Working with Reggae Archive Records from Bristol http://reggaearchiverecords.com we’re pleased to announce the first release on that album is the seminal Birmingham reggae band Eclipse. Contemporaries of Steel Pulse and UB40, Eclipse were at the heart of the vibrant Birmingham reggae scene that include other great bands such as Unity, Cornerstone, Natress, Iganda, Black Symbol, Afrikan Star, JALN, Velvet Shadow and of course Beshara.
With only 1000 copies pressed, their only album, Inna Reggae Rhythm, has become a much sought after collectors piece. Now for the first time in 30 years you can hear that album, with extra ‘found’ tracks, on Corrupted Society. Sounding as fresh and relevant as when it was first released Corrupted Society is a deep roots reggae album that has to be heard.
Availalble from Bandcamp, iTunes, Amazon and a record store near you!
This from Look! Hear! in 1981

Great to see that Eclipse have not been forgotten. However would just like to point out that 021Records was a project of the late Martin Culverwell and Andrew Burchell not the late Phil Savage, Phil was the owner of Outlaw Studio where the 021 Records release 0T0 8 ‘Blood fe Dem’ by Eclipse was recorded. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Jvnn4H0aXj4 . 021 Records also released singles from two other Birmingham based reggae bands Iganda ‘Slowdown/Mark of Slavery’ http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hR6SAJsGi-c and the first single from Musical Youth ‘Political’ http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Mcj7q6GV9II.
