I have a version of the Gladiators "Roots Natty" but unlike the original version this one has what almost sounds like mariachi horns kind of looped over the song. Not sure if it is an alternative mix by the Gladiators, a cover, or something that an inventive radio DJ did back in the day. Other than the horns the song sounds pretty faithful to the original though its tough to tell with all the static and hiss on my 30 year old cassette tape. Anyone else ever heard this version and knows what it is?

Devon Russell's next cut on the same Studio One riddim has also additional horns in the mix : it's called Natty Chalawa.
