Maxie,Niney & Scratch are the nicknames of three important figures in 1970s reggae. "Scratch" is Lee Perry, top-ranking roots producer and all-round innovator. "Maxie" refers to Max Romeo, an excellent singer, whose Lee Perry-produced "War Ina Babylon" is a roots rockers classic. "Niney", of course, had been an excellent roots-oriented producer since the 1970s; his own "Blood and Fire" was an early 1970s landmark. Here they do a heartfelt version of rasta hymn "Fire, Fire", originally released on Perry's Upsetter label.
