The Agrovattors [musical Arrangements 1974- 80's]

[DUDLEY 1NE]

Since collecting various Bunny Lee's [Jackpot / Justice / Attack / Gorgan / Etc] 7" over the years, I've noticed for quite some time that from the flying cymbals sessions the Agrovattors have changed their musical style of playing for the same producer, later they had the Wah-Wah guitar sessions around mid 76 backing certain singers in the Bunny Lee stable. and then King Tubbys added to great effect the "Tickler Effect" on mostly Johnny clarke 7" B-sides. then later on they decided to step it up a knotch to Jumpers / Steppers style around late 76 / 77 @ Channel One Studio when Tubby's Studio was temporarily unavailable because of Badism business. and further more even though we know the Agrovattors are many band members in one unit, i just want to concentrate with the topic heading, anyway from the late 70's / Early 80's they had changed their style once again to "I guess" compete with the early Roots Radics Sessions before the early Dancehall tunes started to become more noticeable.

any Agrovattors fans out there ?? let me hear your input of the band and see if you can correct me or confirm certain things.

it sounds like you are pretty much right, im not familiar with the aggrovators 80,s material. from what i understand
the soul syndicate band was known as the aggrovators,the proffesionals,the upsetters at times,the black diciples.
so it is hard to tell who is who in those productions. unless you know each musicians style

The Aggrovators ina '80 are Sly & Robbie & gang they relick or dub over the the over the riddims ina '80 style fashion.

Like Maffia & Fluxy do from the 90.
