Released in 1984 as a co-production between ON-U Sound and Cherry Red Records, "Leaps & Bounds" — the fourth album by Singers & Players and a quietly celebrated masterpiece of post-punk dubwise British dub-roots new wave — gets a fully remastered licensed LP reissue. Limited edition.
Track List

Sublime vocal performances from Prince Far I, Mikey Dread, Bim Sherman and Congo Ashanti Roy; Singers & Players, the dub & reggae project that defined ON-U's early years, featuring Crucial Tony, "Deadly" Headley Bennett, Bonjo I, Evar Wellington, Kishi and more; plus playing from the Roots Radics Band. Under the masterful hand of Adrian Sherwood, industrial-electro sharpness meets a magical monochrome cold-wave spirituality, dubwise burning madly and quietly — a masterpiece where British meets Jamaican roots in a thrilling, dope, quietly simmering face-off with post-punk. Released by Lantern Editions of Rome, Italy, a label that continues to deliver fine reissues of works by artists brimming with the experimental spirit of the early '80s post-punk era. Now in stock.
