Various - Listen Up ! - Roots Reggae (Vinyl LP, CD)

* To celebrate Jamaica’s 50 Years of Independance 1962-2012 We have put together a set of releases that cover the 

musical styles that reggae mutated into through it’s history, SKA,  ROCKSTEADY, ROOTSREGGAE, DUB, DJSTYLE & 

DANCEHALL.... So Listen Up! and enjoy! 

* Welcome to the ROOTS REGGAE SOUND. A period in Reggaes history  that followed the two year supremacy of Rocksteady, that began to tail off around the end of 1968. The Reggae sound many say did not come initially  from the chop of the gui- tar but from the stabs from the Keyboard/Organ that produced that jeggae/jerking feel. The Roots element can be heard in the heartfelt lyrics and the stories told in the songs. So sit back and enjoy some Roots Reggae straight from the heart of Jamaica…..
