Gladiators – Roots Natty
TB1-127
TABOU1 is proud to present “Roots Natty”, a treasure trove of rare tracks by one of Reggae’s most iconic groups, The Gladiators. These magnificent songs were recorded with the cream of Jamaica's musicians during Reggae's golden era, from 1977 to 1979, when the genre was shaping global music culture.
During this period, alongside other Reggae giants like Culture and Burning Spear, The Gladiators crafted unforgettable arrangements and harmonies to match their deep, thoughtful compositions. With Albert Griffiths (rhythm guitar, lead vocals+ harmonies), Clinton Fearon (bass, lead vocals + harmonies) and Gallimore Sutherland (guitar, harmonies) at the helm, the trio transported listeners to a mystical land where peace and love reigned, Rastafari thrived, and the chaos of Babylon was left far behind.
Most of the 11 tracks in “Roots Natty” are rare Jamaican singles previously unavailable on LP or digital files. Originally released in small batches in Jamaica, these singles, most of whom were mixed by the legendary Errol T, sound harder, heavier and more dub-infused than versions available in the West. They have been carefully restored and remastered, preserving their raw, authentic energy.
Selected for Record Store Day in the US, the LPs ordered by RSD sold out in minutes. We are offering a small batch of records as well as the digital files in high resolution audio.
