Dennis Bovell – The DuBMASTER: The Essential Anthology

Description

Since making his recording debut in the early Seventies with legendary British reggae band, Matumbi, Dennis Blackbeard Bovell has repeatedly demonstrated his supreme talent and versatility in a variety of music fields. And yet enormity of his impact upon the UKs music scene over the past five decades has remained largely overlooked.

The DuBMASTER The Essential Anthology sets to finally address this injustice by presenting the first serious retrospective of Denniss output as both a performer and producer.

Charting his career from the Seventies up to the present day, this handsomely packaged set presents 24 of his most celebrated reggae works – including Janet Kays seminal lovers rock classic, Silly Games as well as rarities and previously unissued treasures from the vaults.

Compiled by the artist himself, the collection is further enhanced by Denniss fascinating account of his life in the music business over the past half century, with his words enriched by rare photos.
