about

Ohm Records & Top Ranking Sound proudly bring you 2 more big shots from the great Errol Flabba Holt. 'My Heart Is In Danger' and 'Congo Dread' 1st cuts, both with original dub versions. These tracks are the first recordings of both songs from 1975, riding the same rhythm and different from the album and 12” versions. Backed by an early incarnation of the Roots Radics band with a massive horns section including Vin Gordon, Bobby Ellis, Dirty Harry, Dean Frazer, and Nambo Robinson. Mixed by the legendary Bunny Tom Tom and recorded at Channel One Studio. This is a first time reissue for these so be sure to add both to your collection.

Errol Flabba Holt has revolutionized the sound of reggae music over a span of four decades. Not only is he one of the most accomplished bass guitarists in reggae music, but also a prolific vocalist. Growing up in west Kingston Flabba began his musical career in the 1960's during the ska movement. He then moved on to become a member of the Itals band and also a regular musician for Rupie Edwards owner of the Success Records label. He later worked with record producer Henry "Junjo" Lawes creating songs for artists such as Gregory Isaacs, Michael Prophet, Freddie McGregor, and many other legendary musicians. Formerly an integral member of The Morwells and one of the founders of The Roots Radics Band that massively advanced the roots reggae sound of the 1980's.
