Creation Rebel - High Above Harlesden 1978-2023 (On-U Sound) (2024) CD#1 of Box Set

 

This is the first CD of this massive 6-CD anthology of the albums by Creation Rebel, the original On-U Sound house band. Creation Rebel was the conceived by Adrian Sherwood for the album, Dub From Creation, but evolved into being the backing band for Prince Far I. 

For Dub From Creation, Creation Rebel consisted of Eric 'Fish' Clarke on drums, Clinton Morris on keyboards, Clinton Jack on bass guitar, 'Crucial' Tony Phillips on guitar, and Doctor Pablo on melodica and percussion. The album was the first production by Adrian Sherwood and was engineered by Dennis Bovell (Side 1) and Sid Bucknor (Side 2). 

With dub music, if the riddims are good, then the dub will be generally be good. The best track is actually the last one, Frontline Dub, which features Prince Far I on vocals. This extra track was not on the original album but is included here. Great liner notes!
