Noel 'Sowell Radics' Bailey was an easy man to play music with, according to all legend ..
a man of considerable talent in all fields of Jamaican reggae music ..

In a scene known for acknowledging rivalries Sowell knew no enemies, such was his incredible talent and likeability. The Roots Radics as we know them wouldn't really have existed without him. The domination of drum ‘n bass is well documented but here, we have a man who knew exactly how to complement the driving riddims with his guitar work and it made a difference. On a trip to Canada in '81 to hook up with the Heptones' Leroy Sibbles, they put this selection together, featuring Radics mixes that had yet to be released in their dub versions. The bonus tracks are 4 12"s that Sowell put out between '1980 and '1982.
