Black Roots - The Reggae Singles Anthology

Double Vinyl LP - Limited Edition Pressing with Insert plus Deluxe Edition CD/DVD and Download.

Thirty years after they released their first four track EP Black Roots' singles output is finally showcased on "Black Roots - The Reggae Singles Anthology", this 16 track album spans the band's creative peak of the 1980s.
Black Roots were Bristol's leading exponents of reggae, constantly touring throughout the UK and Europe. They also managed to release a steady stream of LPs and singles mostly on their own Nubian label. Now for the first time the majority of those singles are brought together on a single CD and limited double vinyl LP.
The music includes all of their key early singles, their first EP in its entirety, the three track follow up, the original single mix of "The Frontline" from the BBC series of the same name and later releases such as their collaborations with the Mad Professor.
Includes 16 page booklet to accompany the CD that is packed full of previously unpublished photos of the band, the limited double vinyl issue comes with a similarly illustrated LP size insert.
As is usual Bristol Archive Records have paid meticulous attention to detail and, not only do you get a selection of great music, sleeve notes, a booklet packed with great photos, and a  bonus live DVD, but we truly believe the music has never sounded so good on CD.
