Formed out the core members of Zion Band, Restriction were active between 1982-86 but financial problems (restrictions!) meant that this four-track EP was the only record they ever made.
The EP's reissue for Record Store Day is by way for an appetiser for a long overdue album of previously unreleased recordings. Alongside the digital download there is a vinyl only 12” limited edition of 500 copies housed in a facsimile of the original sleeve.
Side A features male and female lead vocalists from, respectively, “The General” on Four Point Plan and Jendayi on Action.
Side B is all instrumental - the horns driven Restriction followed by a full percussion led dub Re-Action.
This is solid old school reggae with the message of the title track - “have faith in yourself” - summing up the positive vibrations.
