It would be nice if this kind of info would be in the "Browse by - Backing Band" section, maybe just a brief paragraph and the name of the players of instruments, the forgotten heroes of reggae...
Anyway there are already several topics with this info scattered. And Roots Radics and Revolutionaries isn't the same.

A lot of backing bands were simply whoever was playing at the time for a particular producer. Most bands didn't have fixed line-ups beyond a few core members, so there was a lot of overlap between bands.

Kalcidis,
I'm surprised the Agrovators aren't on that page.
