mighty diamonds-the roots is there (raw cut) 7

After their epic run with Channel One beginning in the mid 1970s, the Mighty Diamonds moved to producer Gussie Clarke for a string of albums starting in 1979 and running thru the 1980s. Among the many great tunes from this run, the title track of their 1982 album The Roots Is There is simply one of the Diamond's best ever, and probably the most lyrically militant tune they ever made. This tune was never released as a single at the time, though new mixes were released as a single in 2017. Now, this release is presented on Music Works' original early 1980s dubplate label design, just like the original slate would have been adorned with.
