Deadly, seventies, New York roots. Rugged, a little wired.
The basic rhythm-track is Wackies-style. The flamboyant brass chart is jazzier. Moody organ, too. Young Roots himself goes on a bit.
The band backed The Aksumites on their first 12” (Afrika Fe De Afrikan) and gigged around the City.

I Believe this reissue is not properly licensed.

Outstanding set of dubs originally released in the late-1970s, out of Carl Campbell’s record shop on Church Avenue in Brooklyn, New York.
Sly & Robbie, Augustus Pablo, Chinna, Tommy McCook and co; with Mikey Jarrett doing the ebullient intros.
Dub For Joy is the standout, amongst several heavyweights.

A deadly rocksteady version of the ska tune they’d already cut for Duke Reid.

From 1979, with Tribute To Steve Biko.
