King Jammy is best known as the man that launched Jamaican music's digital revolution. Indeed, he produced 'Sleng Teng', the first fully digital Jamaican hit and one of the most-versioned rhythms of all time. He honed his digital skills as the young apprentice to King Tubby in the Waterhouse ghetto of western Kingston, where Lloyd 'Jammy' James learned the vital electrical knowledge that was key to operating a sound system.
King Jammy in Roots collects some of Jammy's most enthralling productions from the late 1970s and early 1980s with high-calibre artists such as Black Uhuru, Hugh Mundell, Augustus Pablo, Lacksley Castell, Junior Reid and Johnny Osbourne; Jammy's unique, atmospheric dubs complete the picture.

King Jammy 'In Roots' appeals to both the trainspotter and the reggae novice!
