A true pioneer of the genre, I'm unfamiliar with that album but amongst his achievements is inventing Lovers Rock The list of truly great British Reggae Producers is not that big but he'd be in the top 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Off the top of my head, the only Dennis Bovell album I've got would be a sort of 'best of' double album. That was bought purely because it was on Pressure Sounds (No 75) and PS is one of those record labels you can just buy without knowing the artist (Creation had that for a while, even Weller's respond label managed it for a while).

It was this one, with the second disc of dub versions. TBH, my favourite track on it was this one - which wasn't reggae, but a calypso: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 music quiz: there was a song playing lunchtime in a shop that was lyrically, about how you used to be able to smoke on planes and you could get on a plane, light up and leave it smoulder in an ashtray and you could chat up the stewardess if she was fit and kids used to hijack planes and get them to go to Cuba but the airlines could pay 20,000 and Cuba would give them back.... anybody any ideas on what that was?
