Picked this up for a fiver from a mans carboot on Stoke Newington High Street on Sunday. What a great record! Its even better than this their classic:

My copy on the 99 records imprint fellow train-spotting geeks!
Why is it such a great record? I guess its perfectly poised between satisfying ones roots urges, the need for those creamy basso croons (Bim Sherman growing in my estimation of him as I get a bit older/have the edges knocked off me by the pickney dem and the love of a real woman...you know it, seen!), the need for a likkle bubbling patois MC-ing, with those little touches of avant-desperation/white-bliss the pump and piston abstraction of some of the riddims, some of the melancholic_carnival_high_synth touches (as on Lighthouse/Dreamworld). Aaah its just a gourgeous jamboree of a long-playing elpee.
And Sherwood got such a bashing by old Penny Reel on the Blood and Fire forum didnt he?
