Pay It All Back Volume 8 vinyl

The Pay It All Back series is a benchmark of Adrian Sherwood's mighty On-U Sound - the perfect snapshot of where the pioneering dub and post-punk label is heading at any given moment. The first instalment came out in 1984, and here we are seven volumes and 38 years later with another sampler of mind-bending dub sonics. Hats off to Sherwood and co, and the perennial greatness of legends like Lee 'Scratch' Perry (gone but ultimately immortal) and Horace Andy, framed by On-U staples like Tackhead, African Head Charge and Creation Rebel. There's also two entries from Sherwood and Pinch's on-going collaborations and a newer generation of artists helping shape out a constantly inspiring, and clearly constantly inspired emblem of underground dubwise culture.
