May 3 street date. "Two Sevens Clash" is hailed as one of the greatest, most influential records ever made. The album was an important influence on a whole generation of punk rockers, including The Clash and The Sex Pistols. One day Joseph Hill had a vision, while riding a bus, of 1977 as a year of judgement - when two sevens clash - when past injustices would be avenged, a vision rooted in prophecies made by Marcus Garvey. Lyrics and melodies came into his head as he rode and thus was born the song "Two Sevens Clash", which became a massive hit in reggae circles both in Jamaica and abroad. The prophecies noted by the lyrics so profoundly captured the imagination of the people that on July 7, 1977 - the day when sevens fully clashed (seventh day, seventh month, seventy-seventh year) a hush descended on Kingston; many people did not go outdoors, shops were closed, an air of foreboding and expectation permeated the city.
