About Journey to Addis

Journey to Addis is the third album by Jamaican reggae group Third World, released by Island Records in 1978. It marks a shift from pure reggae to a fusion of reggae and soul music. The group was looking for a worldwide success and not success in just Jamaica and England, hence the new fusion approach, which may not have pleased the die-hard reggae fans. A case in point may be the O'Jays cover "Now That We Found Love". The song peaked at number 10 in the UK and number 47 on the Billboard Hot 100. The follow-up single, “Cool Meditation,” was a British top 20 hit.
