besides these albums:
the revolutionary sounds
drift away from evil
meets devon russell
meets bob livingston and jimmy wayde
hell a go pop
pretty woman
running back to me
rougher yet
i heard they had another album but with like 5 songs i think the label is "upfront" with these following tracks:
1. girl you are my kind
2. only for money
3. devil eye
4. reality
does this album really exists ? or did someone just put these songs together ?
cultural roots ?

Re: cultural roots ?
you missed out this album from 1990:
Devon Russel & Cultural Roots
Money, Sex+Violence
Tracks :
1 - Money, Sex & Violence, 2 - Outlaw, 3 - Jamming In The Cellblock, 4 - Mandela Song, 5 - Revolution Song, 6 - Solid As A Rock, 7 - Blame It On Rasta, 8 - Tan Tan Brown, 9 - Hoot Nanny, 10 - Sweetness In Your Life, 11 - Red Bum Ball, 12 - Bom Dance, 13 - It's Not The End, 14 - It's Not The End Dub, 15 - Roots Man Blues, 16 - Blame It On Rasta Dub.
Release Info :
While it's true to say that the Jamaican messengers of reality, Cultural Roots, have been around for a decade - often in the background - it's only right that now, in the years of what could prove to be the deserved decline of the capitalist/monetarist system as we know it, a rejuvenated Cultural Roots are once more on the horizon, rising to the fore. The group have undergone a few shifts in personnel, since their excellent debut album, "Revolutionary Sounds", for producer Donovan Germain back at the onset of the Eighties, set a remarkable, upful standard to follow.
The sometime trio/quartet struck again with another sobering musical cracker for Donovan Germain, "Drift Away From Evil", before moving on to what is regarded as their biggest success to date, the album project "Hell A Go Pop" with young hot shot producer of the day (1984), Henry "Junjo" Lawes. The group continued in various guises with a backbone of lead vocalist Hubert Brooks and Wade Dice - releasing only the occasional single - until they came to work for King Jammy, resulting in the Island issued "Running Back To Me" in 1988.
Hereabouts is where Devon Russell - already a veteran vocalist from Studio One and High Times days, and previously lead singer for Sixties vocal group The Tartans - enters the picture. Hubert Brooks decided to call it a day and departed for America, leaving Russell to step in and complete the "Rougher Yet" album for Hugh "Redman" James alongside Wade Dice and Errol Grandson. "Rougher Yet" was also an introduction to the Cultural Roots' own now-permanent backing outfit, the fast-rising Firehouse Crew, whom - under Russell's guidance - had already established themselves at the late King Tubby's Waterhouse studio as sessioners. Several successful UK live shows later, the full Cultural Roots posse have a new album, Money, Sex & Violence", ready for release, and promise, with their most settled and solid line-up in ages, to make 1990 a year to remember in the annals of roots music.

Re: cultural roots ?
rootsman was that post about the album i posted up?
i said nothing about liking that album!!
i was just adding that to the list of there released albums, same with most old reggae bands, when the reappear years later they sound bad, with a few exceptions, but i always like to see the old bands getting back out there, cultural roots done some of my fav tunes.
