![]() ![]() is actually Prince Far I's publishing company name (the song "I And I Are The Chosen One" is from Prince Far I's "Free From Sin" album) and the track listed as The Black Shadows "Brother Noah" isn't that track at all.it is actually another Lee "Scratch" Perry production - a dub of Debra Keese's "Travelling" called "Nyambie Dub". To clear things up and correct some mistakes, The Sons Of Selassie features Max Romeo on vocals New Town Sound Ltd. This collection also dips into material from the early reggae era, with some jerky, scratchy rocksteady sounding tracks (Max Romeo's "The Coming Of Jah", The Ethiopians), but of the crucial roots period there are some delightfully heavy stompers present (Johnny Osbourne's "Purify Your Heart" and Lizzard's "Milk & Honey" especially). There are also no extended 12" discomixes on here,(apart from "Talk About It" by The Mighty Diamonds), like on the "Roots Reggae" one, which can be a good or bad thing depending on how you feel about such things. Played next to the "Roots Reggae" or "Roots & Culture" boxsets this sounds positively puny, but what it lacks in loud sonics, it makes up for in spirited performances, and a rare tracklisting. It is the first one released, and seemingly before Trojan entered into the "sound war" of everything-louder-than-everything else CD mastering that is going on these days. Of the three Trojan box sets with "roots" in the title, this is quite possibly the best. ![]()
