Authoritative Anthology Of One Of The All-Time Greatest British Producers On 2LP!
24 Essential Prime Reggae Cuts From The Past 5 Decades!
Compiled & Annotated By Bovell Himself!
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 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 gatefold 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.
