Hi bredas...

Anybody ever heard of that LP? It is said to be a '85 album of Max Romeo with the Roots Radics as backing band and mixed at Wackies and Ariwa... Sound good!

Seem to be impossible to get infos on...
I it a tuff album? Roots? Any tracklist?

Thanks

Right... that's it, of course...Thanks Roddy, didnt link the tiles, stupidly.

Has it been repressed, I mean the full LP, not only *The birth of reggae music* on 12"?

Thanks

Litelet,

Funny you mention that one - been meaning ask about it - particularly the roots tunes on it.

Collieman - according to the price sticker, I bought 'The Cross or the Gun' in 1994 - and by the sound of it, it probably was recorded real close to that time frame.

It's digital sounding, musicians, a total of three of them?:

Bass - Christopher Meredith
Drums - Squidly Cole
Drums & Percussions - Anthony Asher Brissett

Produced & Arranged by Tappa Zukie

Engineers - Culture Lee & Bravo

Recorded at - Leggo's, Black Scorpio & Music Works

Side A
Got to Take a Chance, Rev. Cavelero, Trigger Happy Babylon, Snake in the Grass, Uptown Babies, Norman the Gambler

Side B
Nobody's Child, Champion of Love, The Clock, Lay Your Troubles, Wet Dreams

imo, Trigger Happy Babylon is great & the best track by far. Rev Cavelero is very good too - Got To Take a Chance is nice also. From there, not much to get excited over.
