Top drawer LP - highly reccomended and criminally overlooked. Really is about time this man's offerings received some re-press action. Seen it on e-bay a couple of times over the past year - £20 - 50.
Also,well worth hunting down the murderous 12's lifted from this LP - weedfields, go deh rite, uptown rebel - these are far more common on e-bay.
Respects.

No doubts! This is one of my favourites albums!

Sly Dunbar, Robbie Shakespeare & Jackie Jackson, Franklyn Waul, Robert Lyn, Tyrone Downie & Charlie Far, Willie Lindo, Rad Bryan, Earl Smith & Ranchie McLean at guitars, Clive Hunt & David Madden and Dean Fraszer, Skully, Sticky in percussion and...Desi Roots, Pam Hall, Beres Hammond des Tamlins & Sugar Minott in the backing vocals!!! What more can I say?

This is a great roots album, with beautifull songs like "Go Deh Right", "Weed Fields", etc...

Hope you like it too 1dub!

Had a bootleg tape of a Stereograph Hifi session in London from the 1980's which featured a Desi Roots track with version - I think it was Go Deh Right - I know it was wicked and one of the highlights of the tape

Wow. I didn't know that Bellyman! That dub LP is a real killer material.

I guess now I need to add yet another LP to my wants list and a few 12 inchers too!
