$22.00
From Wikipedia and Bandcamp:
The Roots Radics Band was formed in 1978 by bass player Errol “Flabba” Holt, guitarist Eric “Bingy Bunny” Lamont and drummer Lincoln “Style” Scott. They were joined by many musicians, including guitarist Noel “Sowell” Bailey, Dwight Pinkney and Steve Golding, keyboard player Wycliffe “Steelie” Johnson, Pianist Gladstone “Gladdy” Anderson and saxophonist Headley Bennett. As a combined force the Roots Radics became a well-respected studio and stage band, which dominated the sound in the first half of the 1980s. In addition to their own catalogue, they have worked with artists such as Bunny Wailer, Gregory Isaacs, Michael Prophet, Eek-A-Mouse, and Israel Vibration.
Hopeton Brown better known as The Scientist and sometimes known as Overton Brown, from Kingston, Jamaica was a protégé of King Tubby (Osbourne Ruddock), and one of the originators of dub music. The Scientist burst onto the reggae scene in the early ’70s with a reckless mixing style that outdone even King Tubby’s wildest extravaganzas. He began his career as an engineer at Tubby’s in the mid 70’s.
