Deadly Headley

35 Years From Alpha

Regular price $52.00

Long-awaited reissue of the 1982 solo LP from the late, great “Deadly” Headley Bennett, a key sideman from the golden age of Jamaican music who played on hundreds of records throughout his long and storied career.

Designed as a showcase for his unique talents, producer Adrian Sherwood assembled a crack team of singers and players for this set, including Style Scott, Bim Sherman, George Oban, Lizard Logan, Crucial Tony, and Bonjo Iyabinghi Noah. Fellow Alpha alumnus Rico Rodriguez also makes an appearance on two tracks.

Vinyl re-cut by Frank Merritt at The Carvery, featuring a printed inner sleeve with liner notes and rare photos. The CD includes two previously unreleased bonus tracks.
