Psalms for I is the debut album by reggae chanter Prince Far I, recorded in 1975 and released on the Carib Gems label in 1976. The album features nine tracks based on psalms and "The Lord's Prayer", over rhythms largely played by The Aggrovators and produced by Bunny Lee, notable exceptions being the "Psalm 24" rhythm, which was produced by Alton Ellis.[1][2] "Psalm 53" used the rhythm from the Lee "Scratch" Perry-produced "Mighty Cloud of Joy".[3] It was described by Mark Perry in a review in his Sniffin' Glue magazine as "a plastic Bible that goes round and round".[4]
The album gives: "Special thanks to Lee Perry, Bunny Lee and Roger Campbell who helped to make it happen."
The album was reissued on CD in 1994 on the German Fotofon label,[citation needed] and in 2002 by Pressure Sounds with one bonus track.[1]
