Miracle is some mighty fine example of On-U Sound.
Bim Sherman was a bright star in the Jamaican Dub/Reggae world by the mid-70s. Adrian
Sherwood heard Bim & dug his style. He invited Bim over to London to do some work with On-U Sound. Bim
went & stayed.
Miracle was released in 1996 on On-U & Mantra
with: Bim Sherman – vocals; Skip McDonald – acoustic guitar & backing
vocals; Doug Wimbish – bass; Talvin Singh – tablas & percussion; &
Carlton Oglivie – backing vocals. With additional strings by Studio Beats Orchestra
Bombay.
What I’m offering up today is the Miracle Demo Sessions
from 1995. These are unreleased acoustic versions that later were developed
into the Miracles official release.
Bim Sherman & Fats Comet & Friends – The Miracle Demo Sessions cassette, 1995.

Side B –

Enjoy,
On-U (I mean NØ)
