DENNIS BROWN Vinilo y CD

Review: Jamaican vocalist Dennis Brown is one of the most prominent talents of his generation and a leading light in the world of reggae. His magnificent Stage Coach Showcase album came first back in the eighties and is back with golden nuggets. The label that originally put it out is still going strong now and so has served up this superb reissue with all those bits of gold that were produced by Sidney Crooks of The Pioneers. The record was laid down at Harry J's with Sylvan Morris and The Professionals and standouts include a superb new take on Tyrone Davis's 'Can I Change My Mind.'

Review: Dennis Brown serve dup a real roots classic when he penned 'Milk and Honey.' It is a dub that still does damage and so has had a nice fresh reamster for 2022. It's an enduring anthem with plenty of praise for Jah. The prodigal comes with Clive Hunt's original 'Bitter Sweet' dub which he made under his Azul moniker. It's full of echoing synths and head melting pads as well as cavernous bass depths. On the B side, Jay Glass Dubs tackles the original with a warped sense of space and time as he deconstructs contemporary dub into something all new. This is a limited-edition white label vinyl 12" so snap it up fast.
