Tradition, a London based roots reggae band, was formed in 1976, initially performing as Special Brew. The group linked up with Venture Records where they recorded their enduring anthem "Moving On." In 1978, the group released the classic "Why Why" on a then innovative 12-inch discomix single. Tradition also made their mark as active session men, adding dark texture to Aurora York’s cover version of "Don’t It Make My Brown Eyes Blue" and Dennis Pinnock’s classic "Dennis The Menace," among others. A series of live shows opening for giants like Alton Ellis, Delroy Wilson, and Culture enhanced the group’s reputation. Their 1978 major label debut MOVIN' ON was mostly ignored at the time, but would grow to become a reggae fan collector's item.
