Description
ON THE ROCK is a cornerstone of the group formed by WISS, APPLE, and SKELLY. Recorded and mixed at Leggo's Studio (Kingston, Jamaica) with the new version of Roots Radics, featuring: Flabba Holt (Bass), Dwight Pinkney (Guitar), Carl Ayton (Drums), Steve Golding (Guitar), and T-Bird Johnson (Piano).
An evolution in sound, this album sounds much heavier, much bigger. It is also much more produced, which opened the doors to international success for the group, leading to a marathon tour in Europe and the United States, and then in South America. This album includes the very powerful Rudeboy Shufflin and of course the very emblematic On The Rock, both of which are significant tracks in the group's history.
Once again, and with the aim of making this reissue a must-have (no vinyl reissue since 1995), we have remastered the album with particular care. To offer a high-end package, the album will be presented as a 180 g pressing with a 350 g UV glossy sleeve and as a UV glossy digipack CD.
