OH WICKED MAN * MISTY IN ROOTS * PEOPLE UNITE 789 * UK

The British based Misty first recorded as backing group for Nicky Thomas, and by the time of the above release when they had emerged a fully fledged Roots group, [they] had helped overturn the opinion that Reggae music recorded outside of Jamaica was inferior to the home grown stuff.. On this recording (much played on John Peel's influential radio show) were: Walford Tyson, Delvin Tyson and Delbert McKay vocals with Chesley Sampson, lead; Joseph Brown,  drums; Vernon Hunt, keyboards; Dennis Augustin, rhythm and Antony Henry bass.
