## Description

Roots Knotty Roots is a free, independent discography of Jamaican music, compiled by Michael Turner and Robert Schoenfeld. It documents more than 135,000 singles released between 1950 and 1999, spanning ska, rocksteady, reggae, dancehall and over 30 other genres. Created as a practical research resource for collectors, selectors, dealers, historians and fans, the searchable catalogue draws on record labels, matrix numbers, interviews, publications and decades of original research.

Users can search, sort and browse records by artist, title, label, producer, riddim, genre, year, format, country and other details, with advanced search options for combining criteria. Entries distinguish between an artist’s commonly recognized name and the credit printed on a particular release, and likewise record both a title and its label wording. Matrix numbers provide a central reference point, while listings may also include B-side information, release dates, origins and version details. The catalogue covers 7-inch singles as well as other formats and releases from more than 60 countries.
