Linval Record Info

Post by dogpatch »

I picked up a record today, I cannot find any info on it. Anyone heard of it? Oh, you want to know what it is? Here goes. It's called Linval Thompson & Friends Featuring Sly & Robbie, & the Revolutionaries ~ Volume 2. Produced at Channel One, mixed by Scientist...features Ranking Dread, Big Joe, among others. Distributed by Jammyland. I guess the label is Thompson Sound, because that is what it says, but there is no date anywhere on the package. Can anyone give me any info on this?

Is It The Same As "Rockers From Channel One" On Trojan?
If So Late 70's!

Okay, it features the first half of Rockers From Channel One...same song order, ending with the Dawn & Christie song.
Edited to add: the cover has Linval in the middle, and Sly & Robbie on either side in seperate frames (although the riddims are Roots Radics), and the background is a stripped red, green & gold.

Why does the record indicate that the Roots Radics are the backing band, when every other source I've seen says it is the Revolutionaries? The front of the record says Revolutionaries, but the musicians listed on the back are Bingy, Flabba, et al.
