After a 20-years absence from the musical scene, Sun King Records releases Roots Master : The Vintage Roots Reggae Singles, Vol. 1, a 16 tracks compilation from Claudius Linton aka Kingman including the hit Crying Time, Backra Massa and Twentieth Century. This set also features unreleased songs and a 10-minutes behind-the-scenes video.
