Information

‘Roots Techniques’ is probably one of the strongest roots compilations that we have released on Pressure Sounds. Winston Riley recorded some of the most compelling roots tunes for his Techniques label and we are fortunate in having this fantastic blend of singers, deejays and instrumentals on our twenty fourth release on Pressure Sounds.

Featured on this collection are deejays of the calibre of I Roy and Big Youth, singers such as Horace Andy, Johnny Osbourne and Jimmy Riley, some fantastic dubwise versions and really obscure sought after gems such as Donovan Adams’ ‘Don’t Mock Jah’ and Morvin Brooks’ mournful ‘Cheer Up Blackman’.

The artwork and packaging is of the usual high Pressure Sounds standard containing rare photographs and sleeve notes by Harry Hawke.
