Deadly Headley - 35 Years From Alpha [CD]

Long awaited reissue of the 1982 solo LP from the late, great “Deadly” Headley Bennett, a key sideman from the golden age of Jamaican music who played on hundreds of records in a long and storied career.

Designed as a showcase record for his unique talents, producer Adrian Sherwood assembled a crack team of his singers and players at the time for this set, including Style Scott, Bim Sherman, George Oban, Lizard Logan, Crucial Tony, and Bonjo Iyabinghi Noah. Also making an appearance on two tracks is fellow Alpha alumni Rico Rodriguez.

Vinyl re-cut by Frank Merritt at The Carvery, includes a printed inner sleeve with liner notes and rare photos. The CD includes 2 previously unreleased bonus tracks.
