Roots Radics Band – Scientist & Jammy Strike Back! (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
The Roots Radics were the engine room of early-80s Jamaican reggae, and their partnership with Scientist and King Jammy produced some of the era's most inventive dub. Pressed on yellow vinyl, this slab captures the interplay between the band's locked-in riddim section and two of Black Ark and Channel One's most celebrated studio architects at the height of their powers.
The Roots Radics Band is a Jamaican reggae group, formed in 1978 by bass player Errol "Flabba" Holt, guitarist Eric "Bingy Bunny" Lamont and drummer Lincoln "Style" Scott. The nucleus of Holt and Lamont had previously worked together in the group The Morwells and in the backing band for Prince Far I called The Arabs. They were joined by many musicians, including guitarist Noel "Sowell" Bailey, Dwight Pinkney and Steve Golding, keyboard player Wycliffe "Steelie" Johnson, Pianist Gladstone "Gladdy" Anderson and saxophonist Headley Bennett.[1] As a combined force the Roots Radics became a well-respected studio and stage band, which dominated the sound in the first half of the 1980s. In addition to their own catalogue, they have worked with artists such as Bunny Wailer, Gregory Isaacs, Michael Prophet, Eek-A-Mouse, and Israel Vibration.
