The Bristol Roots Explosion Various Artists SKU: ARC279V Barcode: 5052571064412 14.00 £14.00 Genre: Reggae / Dub / Ska Label: Bristol Archive Released Date: 18th March 2016 Buying Format: 1LP Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info Bristol Archive’s compilations “The Bristol Reggae Explosion 1978-1983” and its follow-up “The Bristol Reggae Explosion 2 – The 1980s”, both continue to find new fans, and will soon be re-released with updated tracklistings. In the meantime they have borrowed an idea from their hugely successful Midlands Roots Explosion series and created a brand new exclusive vinyl compilation, “The Bristol Roots Explosion”. The new LP naturally draws heavily on the first two Bristol Reggae Explosions, featuring firm favourites such as Joshua Moses’ all time classic “Africa (Is Our Land)” produced by the great Dennis Bovell, Bunny Marrett’s rare and almost impossible to find on the original 12″ “Times Are Getting Harder” and Ron Green’s 3D Productions “Riot”, another track that’s very difficult to find on its original 7″ format. Also included are local legends Talisman, Big Roy and the Rhythmites. “The Bristol Roots Explosion” is exactly what the title says, a record that documents the West Country’s take on roots reggae from the second half of the 1970s until the end of the 1980s.
