Sullivan - HMS Pinafore; Operetta Excerpts.

Search: Utterance
by: Royal Philharmonic Orchestra

Release Date October 01, 1997
This recording of PINAFORE, made in 1971, was for many years considered by G & S fans to be the worst recording ever made. Recorded by Decca using their Phase 4 system, the result was brash, loud and edgy. Even worse, sound effects were added such as seagulls and lapping water all of which miraculously faded the minute a musical number commenced.

The digital remastering seems to have softened much of this and allows us to hear the performance at last. However, it has to be said that this PINAFORE in no way challenges the crown of the 1959 D'Oyly Carte recording that must surely still be regarded as one of the best G & S recordings ever.

John Reed, although excellent as Sir Joseph, cannot match his 1959 performance ... Read More:

Jump Leads

Search: Utterance
by: Fila Brazillia

Release Date
Some of the reviews for this album seem somewhat negative. But I personally regard this album as one of Fila Brazillia's finest. The ambiguous vocals give it a great depth, yet instant appeal, and every track heads off in a very different direction, with an eclectic selection of electronic and acoustic sounds.

Im a big fan of all of Fila Brazillia's work, but if I had to pick one album, I'd probably choose Jump Leads.

Party In Session - The Black Uhuru Collection

Search: Utterance
by: Black Uhuru

Release Date April 30, 2007
Unavoidabily this new twofer of Black Uhuru has to be compared to the Liberation compilation. This Party in session has 4 tracks more and, crucially, has 5 dub sides from their 1983 Dub factor album (on cd 2)not featured on Liberation.
This gives us the chance to hear both the vocal hits and some of their dub counterparts, which feature more than usually the high voices of Puma Jones and Michael Rose. Sly and Robbie hit a top in their career with these dub sides. The absence of Push push has to be regretted (as on Liberation). Black Uhuru hereby has a second testimony to their 1980-83 heyday and confirms itself as one the absolute top-5 artists in reggae.

Liberation: The Island Anthology

Search: Utterance
by: Black Uhuru

Release Date February 02, 1994
Double CD with 28 tracks not in chronological order. The 1980 -1985 line up of Michael Rose, Duckie Simpson, and Puma from the Island Records albums. Of course the vital rhythm section of Sly Dunbar on drums and Robbie Shakespeare helped to make Black Uhuru so important in reggae music, their hard-hitting beats combined so well with superb expressive vocals of Michael Rose, complimented by the haunting harmonies of Puma and Duckie. `The World is Africa', `Sinsimelia', Bull in the Pen', `What is Life?' ,Happiness`, 'Guess who's Coming to Dinner', are still crucial cuts some twenty five years. The live version of ` Shine Eye Gal' is not so chilling as the original studio version , but is still excellent. `Chill Out' is superb, reggae veering towards ... Read More:
