if anyone has a copy of this, PM me please

Pretty weak set imo.

I got both LP's and they're good in my opinion. But it takes some time to get in to them - especially Doemans vocal style. I don't think they're that difficult to score quite cheap on eBay.

I know not much at all about Anthony Doeman. I know he left the US and went to JA sometime in either the late 80's or in the 90's and sometime in the 90's he passed away. He was supposedly a very kind and good person. A true rastaman.

There's an ultrawicked compilation released on Doemans Drum & Bass label that has productions by King Culture. Crucial album. You should try to hunt that one down;

i have the a doeman album natty result and the king culture and i&i roots and culture.
i really like the comp. it has a great cut that was recorded at the Black Ark.
i had 2 copies, but gave one away.

A friend of mine knew him very well, and told me he died after eating a piece of poisonous fish. He was, among other things, the spiritual advisor to Hank Holmes, long time co-host of The Reggae Beat radio show in L.A. in the 80s.

King Culture is a friendly cat. Nice man. Why don't you call him and ask about Doeman?

was Walter Root 'holy book' ever released on a single?

I've never seen one. I'll ask Culture.

I know no harm was meant, but I'm not so sure that "spiritual advisor to Hank Holmes" is the best term to describe their relationship. Maybe "I & I Connected" might be a tad bit better.

A real good thing that came from Hank and A. Doeman's relationship = 7" 45rpm, "King Selassie I Live" by A. Doeman, produced by Hank Holmes. One of A. Doeman's stronger efforts, musically/vocally speaking.

Only good feelings and memories when it comes to thinking about A. Doeman!

A. DOEMAN WAS AND STILL IS THE BEST REGGAE ARTIST OF ALL TIME! PERIOD. MY LOPINION. JAH LOVE ALWAYS. BLESS UP!
