Product Overview
New Age Steppers - Avant Gardening (Vinyl) ØAvant GardeningÙ: Rare dubs, version excursions and unreleased tracks from the vault 1980 - 1983. In the tradition of archival On-U Sound compilations of recent years such as the ØReturn Of The CrocodileÙ and ØChurchical Chant Of The IyabinghiÙ sets for African Head Charge; and the ØDisplaced MastersÙ LP of early Dub Synidcate rarities, the label have gone through the tape vaults to put together this special record of unreleased versions and rarities from the white hot early days of the New Age Steppers. Highlights include a restored track from their infamous and long-lost 1983 John Peel session (an ebullient cover of Atlantic StarrÙs ØSend For MeÙ featuring a beautifully spirited vocal performance from the much-missed Ari Up), the Jah Woosh deejay cut of ØLove ForeverÙ, some rare dubs previously only available on Japanese import CDs, all bookended by two very different takes on Chaka KhanÙs ØSome LoveÙ. An essential set for collectors of post-punk, dub and other outernational sounds. TRACKLISTING 1. Aggro Dub Version 2. Send For Me 3. Izalize 4. Unclear 5. Singing Love 6. I Scream (Rimshot) 7.
