The Roots Radics didn't just back singers, they rewired the entire foundation of Jamaican music. Drummer Style Scott, bassist Flabba Holt, and guitarist Dwight Pinkney built a stripped-down, militant groove that gave artists like Barrington Levy and Yellowman room to define what reggae would become in the 1980s. This is the transitional moment before digital production took over, caught on tape while it was still raw.

While the roots reggae of Bob Marley, Burning Spear, Peter Tosh and others made the biggest impact internationally for reggae, in 1978 a new sound began to emerge in Jamaica. Hard-hitting but sparser, fueled by the dynamic rhythms of the new group of studio musicians dubbed Roots Radics, by the early Eighties, dancehall reggae was hitting around the world * This collection has some of the biggest hits of the pre-digital dancehall era by such stars as Yellowman, Eek-A-Mouse, Sugar Minott and Barrington Levy - all of whom began touring around the world - as well as the all-time classic ""Bam Bam"" by Sister Nancy. Also included are some rare gems such as the original version of ""Dem A Lick Shot"" by Michael
