If you have a Record Token burning a hole in your pocket, the HMV sale includes several of my Albums/Reissues of the Year, needless to say, at much lower prices than I paid for them.
Blackbeard news
This popped up and I pressed ‘buy’ instantly. I suspect it will be of interest to others round these parts.
Available on 38-track 2CD or 24-track 2LP. Released this coming Friday.
“Since making his recording debut in the early Seventies with legendary British reggae band, Matumbi, Dennis ‘Blackbeard’ Bovell has repeatedly demonstrated his supreme talent and versatility in a variety of music fields. And yet enormity of his impact upon the UK’s music scene over the past five decades has remained largely overlooked.
The DuBMASTER – The Essential Anthology’ sets to finally address this injustice by presenting the first serious retrospective of Dennis’s output as both a performer and producer.
Charting his career from the Seventies up to the present day, this handsomely packaged double vinyl gatefolded album presents 24 of his most celebrated reggae works – including Janet Kay’s seminal lovers rock classic, “Silly Games” – as well as rarities and previously unissued treasures from the vaults.
Compiled by the artist himself, the collection is further enhanced by Dennis’s fascinating account of his life in the music business over the past half century, with his words enriched by rare photos.”
