Talisman
I-surrection (oldwah Deconstruction)
When Talisman finished recording their latest album "I-Surrection", Sugar Shack gave the unmixed master recordings to Dave 'Oldwah' Sandford. Dave was the man given the job of mixing the unfinished tracks on the Capital Letters archive album "Reality". He describes his take on the music as "a piece of vinyl from 1978 taken out of a dusty sleeve", not slick and clean but having that authentic vibe. Influenced by the classic dub sounds of albums like "African Dub Chapter 3" and "King Tubby Meets the Rockers Uptown", Oldwah's dubs take you on a journey that absolutely sounds like it was recorded and mixed in downtown Kingston circa 1978. As a bonus, for this release some fresh tracks from the band are included, extra tracks from the "I-Surrection" sessions also given the Oldwah treatment making ten different songs plus two additional mixes, a round dozen dub shots for Talisman fans old and new.
