DESCRIPTION
Back in 2015, Cherry Red's 6CD 'Redux Anthology' box set offered the most comprehensive cross-section yet of the prolific output of the man born John Wardle. Now long deleted, we've cherry-picked some of the highlights from that acclaimed compendium to present to his many fans across a unique double-vinyl set. Spanning his solo years from the early 1980s until 2015, the selections run the gamut of Jah Wobble's many musical styles - dub, folk, reggae, world music, trance, jazz, post-punk, pop, etc. Many of the tracks found him collaborating with some fascinating musicians. Some were album highlights, others singles. Whatever, this Redux double-vinyl edition offers an appropriately diverse cross-section. The original 'Redux' box set included updated versions of two of his hits 'Visions Of You' and 'Becoming More Like God', both of which appear here. 'L1' and 'Happy Tibetan Girl' represented one of Wobble's most acclaimed albums' 'Chinese Dub' while 'Tightrope' saw him team up with Julie Campbell (alias Warp artist LoneLady). And several tracks date from JW's brief tenure with Trojan Records in the early 2000s. 2LP Splatter vinyl.
