Excerpts
Our biggest record is Root Boy Slim. He's a different type of artist than the other things we're releasing. But a lot of record stations will play that and like it. It sorta opens the door for our other albums.
Miles Copeland interview
While looking through one collection of assorted reggae albums, it was discovered that The Revolutionaires, in mass or in part, played for 18 different reggae acts. To a large extent, the Jamaican sounds one hears today are actually various lead singers and The Revolutionaires.
The Hidden Force of the Revolutionaires
Seventeen original songs from a British band on the rise. It's easy to compare them with such diverse groups as XTC and Sham 69. The songs are sort of short, little, catchy things. Delivered with words yelled at times.
