Drummer Style Scott joined Adrian Sherwood's influential On-U Sound dub label in the late '70s and played on Sherwood's influential releases as the New Age Steppers (with vocalist Bim Sherman, horn player Deadly Headley, melodica player Dr. Pablo, and a large guest lineup). Scott later formed his own band, Dub Syndicate, which soon became, with the possible exception of African Headcharge, On-U Sound's most popular act. Though not a group per se, Style Scott and producer Sherwood explore reggae, dub and dancehall by collaborating with some of reggae and dub's greatest talents, including Lee "Scratch" Perry, Skip McDonald, U-Roy and, in a bit of posthumous sampling of an old friend, Prince Far I (on 1990's Stoned Immaculate).On-U Sound, in conjunction with the American label Restless, originally reissued three volumes of the Classic Selection series.

'Mad Dogs and Englishmen...'
I haven't got Vol 2. I'll have to get it: make the thing complete!
Yeah, Moondog, what a guy.
You hear 'Bird's Lament' everywhere; it must be on at least half a dozen Ninja Tunes.
Summer's here at last.
Got the next two months off; gonna get down to some serious ripping and just Chill Out generally in a really big way.
Long may the heat continue.
Regards, roy
