Misty In Roots
Misty in Roots began life as a Southall-based British roots reggae band in the early 1970s. Their first album was 1979's Live at the Counter Eurovision, a record full of Biblical Rastafarian songs. It was championed by BBC Radio 1 DJ John Peel, helping to bring roots reggae to a white audience. At this early stage, the band was a collective with five lead singers and various musicians, though by the time of the second album the band had slimmed down to just three members. Along with Steel Pulse and Aswad, Misty in Roots were one of the most popular English reggae bands in the late 1970s.

Poor and Needy
roots dub 12" single
This is the extended 12" disco 45 of "Poor and Needy" by British reggae band Misty In Roots. The single runs to well over 12 minutes, which means that it is not possible to upload the whole tune
to youtube's 10 minutes time constraint.
Poor and Needy (dub)
reggae dub roots 12" single
This is the dub of the extended 12" disco 45 of "Poor and Needy" by British reggae band Misty In Roots. The single runs to well over 12 minutes, which means that it is not possible to upload the whole tune to youtube's 10 minutes time constraint. So I have uploaded the first part on a separate video.
This single was released on the People Unite label and dates from 1983 and is written by W. Tyson.
See Them Ah Come
