Does that mean that Black Roots is compromising their sound?
We are compromising our lyrics. Not the sound. The sound remains the same but the lyrics, not necessarily love songs, are in a sense of peace and love. In England and Europe the record buying public is not really the same as the live audience. Different people buy records than go and see live shows – we ourselves are mainly a live band. We don’t sell thousands of records, but we survive through our live shows. So really and truly we keep our live set as the original but we put out one and two kinds of softer records because there are two different kinds of people out there to please. Most of the band originate in Jamaica and have been in the UK for over 20 years. They say they would love to go there to work with Errol T. and Joe Gibbs one day.
