Bristol Reggae Explosion-best Of The 70's & 80s
This new compilation contains 17 tracks kicking off with "Africa (Is Our Land)", the Dennis Bovell produced classic
from Joshua Moses. It also includes the distinctive voice of Bunny Marrett, and founding members of Talisman Dennison
Joseph and Dehvan Othieno who started their musical careers more than forty years ago as Revelation Rockers. Winston
Minott lent his distinctive voice to Cool Runnings on the soulful "Playhouse" and "You Can't Pay Me". Unfortunately,
female voices are somewhat scarce in the reggae world, but we were able to include Sharon Bengamin's top drawer slice of
Lovers' Rock "Mr. Guy.
"The Bristol Reggae Explosion - Best of the 70's and 80's" is the perfect introduction to the amazing underground reggae
scene that flourished without any support from major labels and bears testimony to the talents of the original Bristol
bass sound.
