From Me (& On-U Sound) to You All for Thanksgiving

 

Sherwood at the Controls was a series of two (so far) releases showcasing Adrian's productions & remixes, well, at the controls, don't ya know. 


Here's the Japanese release on this first one with bonus Deadly Headley - "Liberty City Dub" with complete 32 page booklet. Every time I listen to this I think that never in a million years would I have picked these track for a compilation yet how spectacularly perfect a set it is in its depth & breadth of sound. Truly a masterpiece. 

 

Various - Sherwood at the Controls Volume 1: 1979-1984, On-U Sound BRC-450, 2015.
