WHEREABOUTS OF THE VICEROYS

[eddie minott]

HELLO DOES ANYONE KNOW THE WHEREABOUTS OF BRETHREN AND SISTREN BY THE VICEROYS OR CULTURAL ROOTS THE REVOLUTIONARY SOUNDS????

[Bellyman]

The Viceroy's 'we must unite' has come on cd last year but only in france. There is also a interesting compilation of older material from the original sessions mixed with newer material, called 'love is all'. 'brethren and sistren' has been rumoured for some years to come as cd on the Trojan label but never materialised.
For the Cultural Roots records we should hope that Donovan Germain will someday rerelease their first and the 'drift away fom evil' record. both are brilliant roots reggae.
