[1] Regarded as a follower of U-Roy, Grant recorded at Channel One as Ranking Trevor in the mid-1970s, his first release being "Natty a Roots Man", and deejayed on the Socialist Roots sound system who were strongly aligned with the Jamaican Peoples National Party, instrumental in organising local communities and attempting to promote peace at a time when Jamaica was racked by political violence.
On the album, backed by The Revolutionaries, Ranking Trevor reworked Dennis Walks' "Drifter", Augustus Pablo and Jacob Miller's "Baby I Love You So", the Joe Frazier rhythm and The Abyssinians' Satta Massagana.
[1] Channel One Studios' producer, Joseph Hoo Kim, followed this by releasing the Three Piece Chicken and Chips album, compiling tracks by Trevor and Trinity.
Backed by The Revolutionaries' spacious Rockers' drum and bass mixes, Ranking Trevor and Trinity reworked toasting versions of Ernest Wilson (singer) conscious sound system favourite "I Know Myself" ( popular with Jah Shaka and Lloyd Coxsone sound systems in UK ), Coxsone Dodd's "The Answer" rhythm, "Have Mercy" by The Mighty Diamonds, and The Meditations hit, "Woman is Like a Shadow.
"[1] In 1977, Ranking Trevor teamed up with Carl Malcolm and The Revolutionaries to release the conscious Rockers Discomix, "Repatriation", backed by "Take a Tip From Me" on the "b" side, both tunes in demand with the followers of Jah Shaka and Lloyd Coxsone sound systems in England at the time, and released on Michael "Reuben" Campbell and King Sounds' Grove Music record label.
