Singers & Players
Staggering Heights
Rated by many to be the pinnacle in the Singers & Players' catalogue, this third album from 1983 saw the reggae collective really hitting its stride. On microphone duties, Prince Far I and Bim Sherman are joined by Mikey Dread (fresh from his work with The Clash) and Ashanti Roy (The Congos), forming a truly heavyweight line-up. Voicing killer rhythms laid down by members of the Dub Syndicate and Roots Radics, this is a landmark recording in the mutated UK version of dub. 'Staggering Heights' contains the classic On-U tracks 'Bedward The Flying Preacher' and 'Snipers In The Streets'.
