Released in 1990, PRAISES is packed with hits performed by Wiss, Skelly and Apple, all backed by the ORIGINAL Roots Radics: the immense Style Scott on drums, who would later join the ON U SOUND stable in London, Flabba Holt on bass, Dwight Pinkney on lead guitar, Bingy Bunny on rhythm guitar, Sticky on percussion, Mallory Williams on keyboards, a brass section led by Dean Frazer on saxophone, Nambo on trombone and David Madden on trumpet.
Produced by Doctor Dread, this 1990 album has never been reissued on vinyl since, and was only reissued once on CD in 2004 by Nocturne.
For the occasion, new mastering and a 350g sleeve, to give this great record all the honours due to its rank.
