U Roy - Creation Rebel Rare Sides by the DJ Originator 71-75

LIMITED EDITION (1500) VINYL TO THE EXTENT THAT AMERICAN HIP HOP OWES A DEBT TO JAMAICAN MUSIC, THAT DEBT IS ALSO OWED TO U ROY. This Limited-Edition vinyl release for Black Friday 2021 celebrates the long and ground-breaking career of the artist who single-handedly created the model for all succeeding reggae DJs, the legendary U ROY. It is impossible to overstate his importance to the history of reggae, representing a status as Louis Armstrong's lasting influence on Jazz; U Roy's feat of having the Top 3 best-selling singles at one time in 1970 on the airwaves & in record shops announced the beginning of a long recording and live performance career, known internationally as the 'Rasta Ambassador', a status he held until his death in February 2021. Quite simply, U Roy created the template for all those countless Mic MCs who followed his example, from the 1970s to now. Bob Marley was known to not be a fan of the DJ music sweeping the dance in Jamaica, but when asked what he thought of the trend replied ‚"Well‚"me like U Roy". Pressed on clear vinyl for a Limited 1200-piece edition (with liner notes by the noted reggae producer/historian Leroy Pierson), this compilation includes Roy's collaborations with the leading vocalists of the day U Roy was the epitome of the Rastafarian message of black pride and love. His primacy in the forefront of reggae is known world-wide, and Sound System Records gives thanks for our 2 decades + association with the man known as Daddy Roy.
