Sheila Rickards やMelody Beecherなどマニアックなディープ・ルーツ・レゲエ、ダブのリリースが続く、カナダトロントのShella Recordsからトロント78のSummer Sound Studioを率いたJerry Brownの自身のレーベルSummer Recordsからの12インチが再発。
Track List
A slice of deep ethereal roots and dub from Summer Records label boss Keith "Jerry" Brown circa 1978.
Hailing from Trenchtown, Jerry was an original member of the Rocksteady group "The Jamaicans" before migrating to Toronto. He set up Summer Records in the basement of his suburban home in Malton near the airport, a subterranean music sanctuary for the likes of Prince Jammy, Jackie Mittoo, Johnny Osbourne and Willi Williams.
Dreadlock Lady features Jerry's yearning falsetto over a hazy instrumental courtesy of the Ishan Band and showcasing horns-man Fitty's transcendent flute and Sax solos. The Dub enters even more surreal territory with Jerry at the controls putting the tape machine through its paces, reminiscent of wilder outings at Wackies Studio.
Stay tuned for a short documentary on Jerry Brown featuring a wealth of archive and never before seen footage Co-directed by Chris Flanagan and Directed by Graeme Mathieson, produced by The National Film Board of Canada.

Johnnie OsborneやNoel Ellisなども録音を残すSummer Recordsから、ジャマイカ移民Jerry Brownの12インチ。彼のスタジオのハウスバンドで、かつてアルバムをLIGHT IN THE ATTICが再発したEWR(Earth, Roots & Water)との録音。BLACK ARKへのトロントからの回答、LO-FI、ダブ感覚と、ファルセットのボーカル。独特の魅力です。 (サイトウ)
