On-U Sound present a crucial reissue campaign of key albums by Creation Rebel, the original On-U Sound house band. Vinyl reissue of five much sought after albums, most of which have been out of print for over 40 years, plus a 6CD anthology set.
Originally conceived by Adrian Sherwood as a dub outfit to make his first album, Creation Rebel evolved to become the live backing band for Prince Far I, produced a string of classic records in the late 70s and early 80s, and recently returned from exile in space with a triumphant comeback set.
A true dub classic from 1980 - backwards tapes drenched in interplanetary sound effects, ghostly voices from beyond the stars and ringing percussion - ‘Starship Africa’ is one of the most out-there attempts to push the limits of dub reggae beyond the final frontier ever recorded. Featuring members of the Roots Radics, Misty In Roots and Prince Far I’s Arabs.
Originally the sole release on pre-On-U Sound label 4D Rhythms, a young Adrian Sherwood remixed and re-
recorded a tape of older reggae rhythms, overdubbing a ton of new percussion and FX, flipping the tape over, and
generally abusing the reel-to-reel in any way possible. The result is something utterly deranged and unique in the already pretty out-there annals of dub. It was also rumoured to be the planned soundtrack of a Don Letts-directed film about ‘alien dreads from beyond the stars’.
With the vinyl now commanding high prices on the second- hand market (having not been pressed since 1982), On-U Sound are proud to present this extra special reissue on black vinyl with a fold-out poster insert telling the
fascinating story of this classic album in full, alongside rare photos. Also includes digital download card.
