Do Everything For A Reason.......

Lifetones - For A Reason

Ripped from a vinyl album released on Tone Of Life Records (LTM 001) in 1983 to high resolution 24-bit flac audio. The recent This Heat reissues have rekindled much interest in this unique beat combo. Charles Bullen moved on from This Heat with this heavy dub masterpiece which was influenced heavily by his Brixton roots, with a bit of help from Julius Samuel, he was Lifetones. Many would not have heard this album, though many will have known of its existence - copies tend to fetch a small fortune on the open market. Shortly to be reissued on Light In The Attic Records, here is a crystal sharp rip of an original album courtesy of blog follower TB. This post forms part of a short most wanted series of posts, well we can now say most-wanted, now obtained by this blogster.
