Outside it can be cold and dangerous, but inside there's a sparkling fire and it's called Kingston Roots Blogspot, right here to enjoy! Feel free to kindly request for a rare record or 12", as we often don't have those long remaining untraced albums anyway, but to never have shot is to always have missed.
By the way, as most of us Kingstonians know, once you are a real big superstar you will soon find out that the fantastic fans, the hot chicks in the fancy hotels, the mega halls, the VIP travelling by planes and limousines can often be great, but the "home" time in between two tiring world tours is the "quality" time. There is nothing better than returning home from hard work and to sit down on your own cozy couch and to lie in your own old comfortable bed once in a while.

I Roy - Dread Baldhead
"During the second half of 1976, some of the most terrifying
sounds ever released by King Tubby and his producer Bunny Lee
appeared in the vinyl grooves. The atmosphere became very
strange and distant in the dub mixes. This LP and its companion
(released at the same time), Satta Dread by U Brown, share the
same earthquake bass also typical of this short, magical period."
