A righteous roots set from the great Cornell Campbell – a singer with a nicely high vocal range, which seems to bring an even more heartbreaking quality to some of the more message-oriented tracks on the set! The album's from the early years of digital production, which gives things a nice crackle in the rhythms – served up by The Roots Radics with a laidback vibe that's perfect for Cornell's vocals. Titles include "Got To Tell The People", "Trick In The Book", "Fight Against Corruption", "Everybody Wants Promotion", "Malicious World", "The Drifter", and "Where I Stand". LP, Vinyl record album

... 12-inch, Vinyl record

Features Tony Allen on drums – on tracks that include "Outernational Incident", "Memories Of Senegal", "Many Roots", and "Sound Invasion". (Jazz, Reggae) CD

A big moment for the British ska scene – and the soundtrack to a film that featured live work by nearly all of the big names at the time! The album features live work by artists who owed a lot to 2 Tone, but who'd even moved onto bigger fame by the film – but who are working here in a nice back-to-basics mode – and titles include live versions of "Concrete Jungle", "Man At C&A", and "Nite Klub" by The Specials; "Mirror In The Bathroom", "Big Shot", and "Ranking Full Stop" by The English Beat; "Inner London Violence" and "Lip Up Fatty" by Bad Manners; "Easy Life" by The Bodysnatchers; and "Razor Blade Alley" and "One Step Beyond" by Madness. (Rock, Reggae) LP, Vinyl record album

Like a number of other reggae soundtracks, this collection of burning late 70s UK reggae transcends its use in the film, and makes a hard hitting set on its own. 10 numbers in all, including Yabby You "Deliver Me From My Enemies" and "Free Africa", Michael Prophet "Turn Me Loose", I Roy 'Whap'n Bap'n", Cassandra "Thank You For The Many Things You've Done", Aswad "Hey Jah Children" and "Warrior Charge" and Dennis Bovell "Beefy's Tune", "Manhunter", and "Jazterpiece".
