Hi people, Little Roy is a great man I discovered last year after hearing his latest cd 'Heat' and seeing him play live also in the summer. Is the album 'Tafari Earth Uprising' available to be at a decent price on cd anywhere in the uk? I have a copy but want the real thing for my collection. Failing that, any other compilations of his older music? Thanks people and may peace be with you all

It's available from Amazon for $76 in VG condition... I'm 99% certain I have it in my basement. Will go and check when I have time. It would definitely be in satisfactory condition. If you want you can have it for $10 + shipping. But I'll have to go and check first.

That would be amazing if you would do that, thanks!

Why is this cd so expensive?

marks1252: Will venture down to the basement this weekend. Wish me luck.

Inyaki: I have no clue to be honest. It seems that some CD issues are more expensive than others. Perhaps smaller runs in combination with the music being sought after? Personally I never listen to my CD's any more.

Thanks.
I'm out of touch.....!

Lots of luck sent! thanks

Was deleted relatively soon and didn't sell much on CD, back in the mid-ninties most Reggae CDs didn't, much bigger seller on vinyl, plus just because someone lists it at $76 on Amazon doesn't mean that's what it usually sells for.

Yeah. I understand that the Amazon price is a joke thing (even if it was the cheapest of three copies). Like the EBreggae pricing of some original presses.

that is one of my favourite albums, i have to say. Little Roy's voice is amazing, so passionate
