U-Roy - I Am The Originator (Vinyl)
The mighty U-Roy is the originator, the man who put the DJ phenomenon on the map and made it an artform. U-Roy moved into the recording arena firstly cutting two discs for producer Lee Perry: Earths Rightful Ruler and OK Corral, and then following this with Dynamic Fashion Way and Riot for producer Keith Hudson.
Producer Duke Reid, seeing the potential in this new found form, brought U-Roy to his Treasure Isle Studios to voice over his back catalog of rocksteady hits. His first three releases for Duke Reid -Wake the Town, Rule the Nation and Wear You to the Ball held the top three positions for 12 weeks in early 1970s.
Here, Kingston Sounds have compiled some of U-Roy 's best-loved cuts from his mid-'70s period, when all were still looking at him for guidance. A fine collection of the Daddy of all DJs, who said, "I Originate, so you must appreciate, while the others got to imitate." That says it all, really. (Forced Exposure)

PRE-ORDERS
Flying Nun only debits your account for a pre-order when it has actually landed in our store. We believe this is fair because supply can often be unreliable - availability and release dates frequently change without notice. Pre-order with Flying Nun and you can cancel any time prior to the product arriving at our store.
OUT OF STOCK ITEMS
Flying Nun only make products available to purchase on our website when they are actually physically held at the store (except pre-orders). Vinyl availability from all local and international suppliers changes on a daily/hourly basis. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee an online order for many items not currently held in stock.
