Midlands Roots Explosion

Post by flashman »

This is looking to be pretty great! Been listening on Bandcamp

https://reggaearchiverecords.bandcamp.c ... volume-one

And just ordered the 2XLP from ErnieB. Seems there's a couple tunes that overlap with the Handsworth Explosion comp and recent Black Symbol release. I haven't checked to see if they're the same versions yet though. Keep it up Reggae Archives. I was pretty ignorant of all this stuff before this. It's very worth hearing!

I've missed a few of their recent releases but I need to scoop them all up before they get out of print. Brilliant stuff mostly.

Hi there Flashman

I have all 3 of those titles you mention on CD and the repeated tracks that span those albums are the same versions.

Excellent CDs and great additions. I have to give special praise to the 2 Gerald Love tracks on the "Handsworth Explosion" release. I had never previously heard of him or those 2 tracks and was well impressed.
