Barry Biggs

You're Welcome

Afrik / Only Roots

A beautiful song, perfectly suited to BB’s sweetly soulful singing style.
Bunny Lee runnings, originally; with King Tubby at the controls for the first dub here.
Pure loveliness.

Jah Witter And Roots Underground

Captivity Captives

Ohm Records

Carlton Bryan

Gridlock

Roots Invasion / Jah Fingers

Latty Guzang

Reggae Riddim

Roots Vibration

Infectiously spirited do-over of Horace Andy’s Higher Range. In three parts — vocal, toast, melodica dub.

Mombasa Roots

Roots

Fred Locks & Ras Teo

Tree Of Life

Roots Youths

Lord Creator

Such Is Life (Upsetters)

Roots Vibration

The original Randy’s version is a desert island disc — and nearly twenty years later this a magnificent do-over by way of the Black Ark, originally released by Tony Owens’ Seven Leaves, in Kensal Rise.

Earl Sixteen

Natural Roots

Partial

More Relation

Jahoveah's Kingdom

Roots Vibration

Quality US roots in extended mixes. More Relation started up in New York in 1977, backing the likes of Larry Marshall and Carlton Coffee.

Freddie McGregor

Run Come Rally

Roots Vibration

Magnificent, extended interpretation of his own Rastaman Camp classic for Studio One; this time with Niney at the controls. More trenchant and purposeful, less ecstatic. Burning, jazzy horns stand in for the nyabinghi drums of the earlier cut. Freddie slays it. ‘Throw away your folly.’

Johnny Clarke

Intruder

Roots Vibration

Matthew McAnuff

Be Careful

Roots Vibration

Speedy J

Rise

Roots

Public Energy

Three O Three

Roots

Young Roots

I Believe

Roots Record

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.

Triston Palma

Born Naked

Roots Vibration

Desi Roots

Warning

Emmanuel Music

Johnny Clarke

Jackpot
