Radiation Roots present a reissue of
Tetrack
's
Trouble
, originally released in 1983. Roots harmony trio Tetrack formed in the Mountain View area of east Kingston in the early 1970s, borrowing the name from a local sound system (which had taken the moniker in reference to the Tetrarchy established by the Roman Emperor Diocletian in the third century). Although
Paul Mangaroo
was the primary lead singer,
Carlton Hines
wrote most of their material and was the real figurehead of the group; Hines and
Dave Harvey
were typically employed as backing vocalists, but each also sang lead. A mutual friend introduced them to the visionary producer
Augustus Pablo
, leading to impressive debut recordings at
Lee Perry
's Black Ark and the stunning debut LP,
Let's Get Started
(1978). Despite the album's widespread acclaim, the lack of ready finance and slow pace at Pablo's Rockers stable led the group to shift base to Gussie Clarke's Music Works in 1983, with Hines also being employed as a songwriter for other artists there. The resultant album
Trouble
was cut for Gussie with
Sly And Robbie
, the engineer
Soljie
, and a range of other stellar players, including guitarist
Willie Lindo
, the material issued in extended "disco mix" format, to make the most of its captivating rhythms; British and Japanese editions complimented its initial Jamaican release.
