Capital Letters

CAPITAL LETTERS

Capital Letters - Headline News - Greensleeves - CD

A very well known fact from the late seventies UK reggae scene is

that, there were 300 reggae bands in the UK at that time. Aswad, Steel

Pulse, Black Slate and Misty In Roots were probably the front line.

But bands like Capital Letters, Reggae Regulars weren't far behind.

This might sound a bit strange, but a lot of the problems with bands

is that if they get the name wrong - you don't really know what they

are about. Aswad always sounded good - but the rest of them including

Capital Letters - always seemed to have a bit of marketing problem.

For there is nothing wrong here with the music on there one and only

album. Its got all the lyrical power of Misty or Aswad - and the music

is great. Some great drum rolls in the style of Tin Legs. Produced by

Chris Cracknell at TMC in London who gets a very good overall roots

sounds. Really good to see it out again as well.
