the bristol reggae explosion 3 - the 80s part ii
bristol archive
3rd instalment leans more toward the roots reggae output, with 11 previously unreleased tracks out of 15! whilst still happily exploring what was happening in the city during the 1980s, they've bent the rules & included a lone track from 1979, revelation rockers’ ‘jah praises’.
revelation rockers changed their name to talisman & as such they feature twice more with the unreleased (cave mix) of ‘takin' the strain’ & ‘lick & run’. bunny marrett returns for volume 3 with an incredibly soulful & atmospheric performance of ‘i'm free’ & joshua moses’ ‘stick it up’ is a live recording that gives you some idea just how good his shows were. also features alfred mcintosh from volume 2, ron green, zapp stereo, the radicals & dan ratchet. exceptional & lovingly collated compilation.
