It is a pleasure and a privilege to join Flabba, “me is a man who play bass “, here as he narrates the stories behind some of The Roots Radics biggest hits, runs you through his epic bass lines and explains how history was made.

Songs Mentioned in the Video
Freddie McGregor: ‘Big Ship’ Thompson Sound 7” Producer Linval Thompson 1982
This huge hit was not only followed by an LP of the same title on Greensleeves in the UK but would also provide Freddie McGregor with the name for his own label. However, Flabba describes here how it nearly didn’t happen as “everybody a pack up and we leave” before recording “one more song…” that would become for Freddie “him biggest tune I ever heard”.

Gregory Isaacs: ‘Front Door’ African Museum 7” & 12” Producer Gregory Isaacs 1980

Michael Prophet: ‘Gun Man’ Volcano 7” Producer Henry ‘Junjo’ Lawes 1981

Barrington Levy: ‘Prison Oval Rock’ Arrival 7” Producer Henry ‘Junjo’ Lawes 1983
“It’s a hit tune this! Making ‘Prison Oval Rock is another movie… this is a history.
