Flabba get badder
Adrian Crestani showcases the vocal talents of Errol ‘Flabba’ Holt – better known as a bass player with the Roots Radics band and for being part of the Morwells but he cut some stunning vocals in his own right.
Some heavy roots tunes! And as usual plenty of DJ, dub and next vocal cuts thrown in. This isn’t a complete discography but is a great overview of a fine singer who was overshadowed by his equally fine bass playing skills.

They can't stop us now
The Viceroys are one of reggae’s great vocal groups.
Adrian Crestani shines a light on this often under-appreciated trio, from their Studio 1 sides (1967) to their last output for Winston Riley (1984).
As usual, there are a few cuts of riddims thrown in featuring artists like Horace Andy, Freddie McGregor and Barrington Levy.
