Negus Roots Special Part 1

Negus Roots focus mix.
Mighty roots and rub-a-dub classics from producers Robert and Michael Palmer.
 Loosely centred around the Negus Roots 12'' collection, throwing various album tracks and rarities into the mix. This UK label released mainly exclusive Yard recordings (Channel One, Tuff Gong), alongside a few UK rhythm tracks after 1982 with session band Original Rockers. Part one covers 1980-82 with several killer sides from leading artists Junior Reid, Don Carlos and Lacksley Castell backed by the Negus Roots Players (essentially the Taxi Gang & We The People). Heavy-duty dub versions from engineer Errol Brown.
Resident deejay in rhe area Papa Tullo level the vibes throughout.
 
 
Negus roots used exclusive, mainly original riddim and didn't voice over or recycle much.  Two crucial takes of the Milk And Honey make a happy exception. Surprisingly good lovers rock interpretations of Rose Royce's Wishing On A Star and Barbara Streisand's The Way We Were by Rose Windross aka Rose Marie.



Continuous mix. 90 mins.
