18 Cash Box/April 12,1980 R/4DIO NEWS A\R PL/4Y DUB-STYLE RADIO — An unusual promotion tour has begun by Jack Miller, founder and recording artist for reggae-oriented Haiku Records and Tapes. Miller has set out on a tour of California radio stations in support of his own album, “Rockers Rising," and to help promote all reggae music to the American public. The unusual aspect (unusual at least for American radio) of this promotion is that he will sing and play over tapes of his own rhythm tracks, “dub-style" live in the studio at each radio appearance. This is a common practice for Jamaican toasters in their home country. Custom made radio IDs are available as well as a taped interview with Miller and his band, the Rebel Rockers. Already participating are KCRW/Los Angeles; KPOO/San Francisco; KPFA/Berkeley and KUSP/Santa Cruz. All stations interested in having Miller visit and perform on the air should contact Ray Cook at Haiku in Los Angeles at (213) 464-8708.
