EARLY ROOTS






The top 3 items were all published in Straight No Chaser magazine at various stages during 1994 and are early examples of The Roots starting to be known when they first hit the music scene.
The top article is a news item from Spring '94 passing on details about their forthcoming mini album called "From The Ground Up".
Then in summer that year, the review of the album itself cropped up in the magazine.
Following that, in Autumn, we can see from the chart above that the album was being dipped into by Dubfire, who was playing it at various clubs around Washington.
Finally, I have put up my copy of the CD to go along with the items, this being released on Talkin Loud.
