From The Roots: Limited Yellow & Transluscent Green Marbled Vinyl LP

From The Rootsis the fourth studio album by one of the best-known ska and rocksteady vocal groups, The Maytals. The group was founded in 1962 by Toots Hibbert, Henry Raleigh Gordon, and Nathaniel Jerry Mathias. They helped popularizing reggae music during the Sixties and were even credited in the etymology of the word Reggae in the Oxford English Dictionary, as a result of being the first to use the word Reggae in their 1968 single Do They Reggay.

The albumFrom The Rootswas recorded by Leslie Kong and features some of The Maytals’ most explosive tunes. Fun fact, the album was already recorded in 1970, but wasn’t released until three years later, after signing to Island Records in 1973.
