As far as I know, Zap Pow are a Jamaican band with the great Beres Hammond.

Zap Pow are indeed Jamaican session musicians, a band much like the Revolutionaries, the Upsetters or the Roots Radics, with changing personell

their albums contain both instrumentals and vocals, the latter very often by Beresford Hammond

Zap Pow was as Jamaican as Jamaican could be, they didn't change line up that much, only Beres Hammond was in and out I believe. Dwight Pinckney later started the Roots Radics as most of you knows.

Mighty Invaders was I believe out of the Washington area, so definitely not a 'UK' band. They did like 1 album

Hot Rocks I know very little about, I think they were a vocal group, not actually a band but I could be wrong there

I don't know how 'new' you are to the music bobby but this was a long time ago now that those type of bands existed, most of them broke up more than 20 years ago and the records become out of print in most cases, a so it go y'no see it?

Most likely you'll find them on eBay if anywhere, there's no website I believe who stocks these albums but give Ernie B's a try but I don't think you'll find them there either
