V.A. 'Rootsman Connection' CD

during the mid 70s in downtown Kingston Tapper Zukie was establishing himself as named star on the DJ roots circuit and would become a favourite with the UK punk scene. Back home however, Tapper was also getting a name for his production talents, of which this cd showcases 15 cuts. Kingston Sounds have selected some fine cuts from this period with singers such as Horace Andy, Cornell Campbell and Prince Alla, as well as lesser known ones such as Ba Wisdom and Putto Black. Of course no Tapper Zukie collection would be complete without the man himself dropping some lyrics so there's a couple of cuts from the man himself, including a sound clash with Jah Mikey...
