Every time I here the song "Just A Passing Glance" I still get
goose bumps. For anyone who has "sighted up" His Majesty, Haile
Selassie I, this song really hits home. It's like Selassie is right there with
you. Even the album cover was very moving as Tommy Noonan, a photographer who's
early work with RAS is some of reggae's best photography, caught Don seemingly
possessed by a spirit and when airbrush artist Dick Bangham created Selassie's
Image in thin air, it became a hauntingly surrealistic jacket. (Doctor Dread)
