Vibes
Reminisce
With decades of involvement in the Bristol music scene, Winston Minott and Popsy Curious are no strangers to Bristol Archive Records. Winston was the lead vocalist with Cool Runnings and can be heard on their self titled album as well as volumes 2 and 3 of our "Bristol Reggae Explosion" series. It is on volume 3 that you can also hear Popsy with his "Chant Down Bobby Rome". It was after these recordings and after they had shared the stage as members of Black Flames that the two men decided they wanted to focus more on reggae and create their own sound, from which Vibes was born. After a few months, a chance conversation with the sister of local singer Veronica aka Veereal led to her recruitment and with the unusul mix of two men and one woman on vocal harmonies, the group's sound fell into place. Having already worked with all three, the Vibes members decided that Bristol Archive Records should be entrusted with their precious masters, Dave "Oldwah" Sandford mixed the tapes & after twenty years, Vibes album "Reminisce" is finally completed and in the words of Popsy "everything we wanted it to be". The album contains 15 tracks including dub versions and as a bonus some mixes from Bristol Archive's resident mastering engineer Steve Street (Doug The Dub).
