DESCRIPTION:
RSD 2021- Rare 1980 Reggae LP Remastered & Repressed -Born in Barbados in 1953, reggae guitarist Dennis Bovell (aka Blackbeard) was one of the key figures on the London reggae scene of the late '70s and early '80s, not only as a solo artist but also as a producer. I Wah Dub was released in 1980, carrying on Bovell's eclectic sensibilities and is an example of a classic British dub album which has long since been out of print on vinyl although it was remastered and reissued CD and released on Zonophone in 2003. Bovell’s huge influence on black British music cannot be underestimated.

Dennis Bovell is a legendary reggae guitarist and music producer. He was born in 1953 in Saint Peter, Barbados, West Indies and moved to England with his family at the age of 12.
He was a member of the British-based reggae band Matumbi and released dub and reggae discs under his own name as well as the pseudonym Blackbeard.
He has produced albums by a wide variety of artists including I-Roy, The Pop Group, The Slits and The Thompson Twins. He has collaborated with dub poet Linton Kwesi Johnson for much of his working life.
Bovell is widely credited as the inventor of lover's rock --- a style of reggae with light, apolitical, romantic lyrical themes marketed towards young women. He is also known for attempting to fuse disco rhythms with reggae, most notably with the hit song "Silly Games" by Janet Kaye.
