Are We All Sitting Comfortably?

Playgroup - Epic Sound Battles Chapter One [BRED 28 UK 1982 24-Bit FLAC]

Are we all sitting comfortably? Then I shall begin. Imagine members of The Pop Group, Rip Rig and Panic, Dub Syndicate, African Head Charge, London Underground, Crucial and New Age Steppers all collaborating on a highly charged album of heavily dubbed reggae beats, hard funk, and dark jazz. Sounds intriguing doesn't it? Most will likely have overlooked this 1982 gem as a planned On-U Sound release was aborted, and the end product licensed to Cherry Red Records instead. Adrian Sherwood produces of course. Another long lost classic from the On-U Sound team which sits comfortably alongside better known classics of the same era like Sextet and Seven Songs.
