V.A. - Roots from the Record Smith: Lloydie Slim Productions 1973-1976 (2022) (Digikiller Records)


This is the LP that has the vocal versions that appear on the dub album reviewed earlier. Pure class from Digikiller! Ronnie Davis sort of steals the show with at least 4 tracks on this 10 track LP. The fact that Ronnie Davis appears on this LP should be enough for you to go and get this. However, if you hesitate just a little, consider that Cornell Campbell, Tappa Zukie, Hortense Ellis, and The Heptones also appear. In fact, the song included by The Heptones (Tripe Girl) is one of my favorite reggae songs ever. So, just go get this. It is a must for serious reggae collectors and fans. By the way, if you are new to reggae, then consider that this LP is a nice snapshot of what reggae music in the 1970s sounded like. Jus enjoy.

For just a taste of what you find on this album, consider these two cuts included on this album, The Heptones - Tripe Girl and I Roy - Look A Boom
