Garvey's Ghost is the fourth studio album by Jamaican reggae artist Burning Spear, released in 1976 on Island Records, ILPS 9382. Each track is a dub version of its correspondent song on his third album, Marcus Garvey.
The album was fashioned by Island Record engineers John Burns and Dick Cuthell in their Hammersmith studio.[5] It features prominently the backing musicians, whom Lindo named the Black Disciples, assembled from members of the session group the Soul Syndicate and Bob Marley's touring band, the Wailers.[6]
On July 27, 2010, the album was remastered and released by Universal's Hip-O Records reissue imprint in tandem with the original Marcus Garvey LP on one compact disc.
