Tell Me Teacher vinyl

To celebrate the 20th birthday of 'Tell Me Teacher', one of Owen Rowe AKA Alpha Rowen's most potent roots reggae singles, Roots Vibration has decided to give the track the reissue treatment. In its original A-side form, 'Tell Me Teacher' is a digital reggae treat, with Rowe's soulful, patois-tinged lead vocals being joined by jangling keyboard riffs, warming electronic bass, tidy female backing vocals and jaunty machine drums. The accompanying 'Version' mix is a far more stripped-back and skeletal affair, with a slightly different bassline and spaced-out drums. These act as the perfect foil for Rowe's synth-horns and cheery piano stabs.
