Product Overview
Celebrating the legacy of 'Bass Culture', the seminal 1980 album from Jamaica-born, British-based dub poet Linton Kwesi Johnson. Released on Island Records and produced in collaboration with Dennis Bovell (credited as Blackbeard), the album stands as a defining statement of Johnson's politically charged poetry and the wider UK dub movement of the late 20th century. With contributions from members of Matumbi, including Bovell, Lloyd 'Jah Bunny' Donaldson and Webster Johnson, the record fuses deep, roots-driven rhythms with incisive spoken word, capturing the social tensions and cultural landscape of the time.
