If you've never heard Jamaican saxophonist "Deadly" Headley Bennett, you've never listened to reggae. Bennett's signature sound can be detected on quite literally countless numbers of legendary recordings, including those by Peter Tosh, Bob Marley, and Delroy Wilson, and he was a member of Studio One's house band Sound Dimension. Deadly's only true solo album 35 Years From Alpha was released by On-U Sound in 1982, produced by Adrian Sherwood, with backing from Roots Radics, and featuring Bim Sherman on vocals. Long overdue, a reissue arrives next month on the label that started it all! - Flying Out
The only solo LP from “Deadly” Headley Bennett and released back in 1982. The title refers to the legendary Alpha School in Jamaica from where so many instrumental talents on the island emerged. A saxophonist-for-hire who played on countless recordings sessions, and was in the ranks of backing groups from the golden era of reggae such as the Sound Dimension and the Arabs.
