Dub Conference


Winston Edwards and Blackbeard at 10 Downing Street - Dub Conference
Ripped from a vinyl album released on Studio 16 Records (WE 0010) in 1980 to high resolution 24-bit flac audio. Pioneering album of post-political dub from Jamaican producer Winston Edwards ably assisted by British genius Blackbeard (aka Dennis Bovell). Enjoy!

Haunted Ground


Bim Sherman, Roots Radics, Dub Syndicate and The Voluntary - Haunting Ground
I first heard Haunting Ground on Peel in 1986, and it is a song which has stuck with me ever since. The accompanying album (imho Sherman's best) was partly produced by Adrian Sherwood and featured a whole plethora of On-U Sound'ers alongside Dennis Bovell in one of his alter egos, The Voluntary. My copy is a 1986 original scratchy vinyl, and although there was a brief reissue on Century Records a few years later, it wasn't until 1999 when the tracks would reappear on Sherman's Crucial Cuts release. I ripped this to high resolution, so can offer a selection from 24bit or 16bit audio. Additionally I recompiled the album from the 1999 remasters used on Crucial Cuts which do sound much cleaner, Enjoy!
