Hi, I've been a lurking reader for a while but never felt the need to post until now. I don't know anyone knowledgeable to ask about this ID and it's driving me crazy! I had this album on vinyl but didn't get round to listening to it properly and, to cut a long story short, i don't have it now. i can't remember many details but, anyway, here is what i can remember:
- 1980s (i think) - (EDITED- perhaps not *early* 80s sorry! - just read sleng teng was released 1985)
- 12" album
- Black UK MC
- Dub/Digi-Dub/Hip Hop (kinda like an early Roots Manuva or Tricky)
- not a straight dub or reggae artist
- B+W cover with the MC on it, possibly some bass bins in the background
- low quality production, not a major label
For some reason i keep thinking of the title 'London's Burning' but maybe the Clash are clouding my judgment on that!!
It's not the following artists: (it's loads more obscure)
Steel Pulse
Hi-Fi Rockers
Tippa Irie
London Possee
Papa Levi
This is driving me nuts! It's a very rare album. I've scoured several blogs, discogs and google image search using phrases like 'uk dub 12"'. I've searched about a 1000 web pages with no luck so i thought finally i'd ask here. sorry i don't have many more details but i think i have seen it discussed here so i thought i'd try my chances.
Thanks very much to anyone who has any suggestions!
