Vivian Jones - Bank Robbery LP
SKU: ROOTS30
Description:
Vivian Jones' debut album, released in 1983 and backed by Undivided
Roots. Heavy slow sparse rhythms (in a Roots Radics style) and
floating keyboards. Superb roots by this inspired UK singer,
including the well-know tunes Flash It And Gwan and Third World
Man.
Born in Jamaica but raised in the UK, Vivian Jones is an important
voice in the UK Roots scene. Started in the 70’s as deejay on local
sound systems but also as a member of several UK Roots bands.
Disillusioned with the music industry he returned to Jamaica in
1982 and recorded some material there. He returned to London, began
recording again in his spare time and released his debut album Bank
Robbery on Ruff Cut. He went on to work with Jah Shaka, Bobby
Digital, Junior Reid and many others. In the 90’s he started his
own ‘Imperial House’ label. Nowadays a welcome guest on every
reggae festival in Europe, Vivian still plays live shows and even
with more than 130 single releases under his belt, he keeps on
recording new and uplifting tunes.
