Roots On Attack 1976-79

The fifth and final volume of Attack singles, this one running from 1976 until the label switched to the 12'' format in 1979. Good balance of vocal & deejay tracks with more tuff Agrovators/King Tubbys versions throughout... Attack Records were renouned for releasing some of the freshest, hardest Yard music of the time for the UK market

Striker Lee releases predominate here. Other productions from Keith Hudson, Alvin Ranglin, Glen Lee, Neville Beckford, Clive Hunt, Linval Thompson & Eric Donaldson. Features four Bunny Lee cuts of Wailers rhythms - Kaya, Time Will Tell, Easy Skanking and Nice Time with vocals by Johnny Clarke, Ronnie Davis & deejay U Brown. Other Lee riddims like the Ali Baba, Move Out of Babylon, Enter In To His Gates With Praise, Satta Massagana, I Love Marijuana, Ten To One and three Cornell Campbell classics on the Undying Love, Duke Of Earl and Queen of the Minstrel. Glen Washington's Voice of the Father from 1976 (a version of Culture's Behold I Come) is just sublime
