On-U-Reggae

A man ahead of his time, Adrian Sherwood created some of the most forward thinking, experimental Reggae of the early 1980’s via his label On-U Sound.

As a joint venture with Sherwood, Cherry Red financed seven albums over a two-year period, including Leaps & Bounds (1984) by the collective Singers & Players (feat. Prince Far I), Threat To Creation by Creation Rebel/New Age Steppers (a daring mix of reggae and post-punk), Lows & Highs (featuring vocals from Crucial Tony and Lizard Logan) and Wild Paarty, another avant-garde collaboration that includes the likes of Jah Woosh, Prince Far I, Jeb Loy and Al Pillay.

FOXY FRIENDS

Noosha Fox and friends injected some sophisticated glamour into the UK charts of the mid-1970s. Fox‘s ‘Only You Can’ peaked at No. 3 while ‘S-S-S Single Bed‘ peaked one place lower. ‘If I Point At The Moon’, taken from their 1975 self-titled album, is a lilting, sublime pop ditty that sounds remarkably timeless. The song is featured in the US drama mini-series A Friend Of The Family, which aired recently on the Peacock network.
