Beschreibung

The new Buyreggae sub-label, Deeper Roots, is back with their third release, and it is a serious treat for the foundation heads. This 12-inch brings together two heavy hitters that deserve every bit of your attention.
On the top side, we get a massive tune from Delton Screechie, 'Living In The Ghetto'. He’s an artist who often flies under the radar, but this release should help set the record straight. Backed by the Roots Radics at the height of their powers, Delton delivers a top-tier sufferer's lament.
This extended mix features the vocal cut flowing straight into a heavy King Tubby dub. It’s pure progressive listening. The track originally appeared on his 1982 showcase album, which first dropped on his own Moa Anbessa imprint. Delton was actually a cousin of the great Augustus Pablo, which explains that deep, conscious sensibility in his music.
Flip the disc and the energy stays just as high. Tyrone Taylor brings 'Sufferation', a track that matches the A-side for pure conviction. A lot of people box Tyrone in as a lovers rock singer because of the massive success of 'Cottage In Negril', but this 1978 roots gem proves he had a serious edge.
Produced by Niney The Observer, the track features a raw, militant rockers backdrop courtesy of the Soul Syndicate. Tyrone’s lyrics take a hard look at the social injustice and hopelessness inside the Kingston ghettos. The tempo shifts in the arrangement really keep you on your toes, and the pulsating version that follows the vocal is a masterclass in tension.
This 12-inch is simply pure class. No filler, just strictly roots business for the Collection.
