Description

The Pop Group s seminal album y has been given a complete dub reworking by the album s original producer and British reggae legend Dennis Blackbeard Bovell (Fela Kuti, Bananarama, Linton Kwesi Johnson). This new version of the album features reimagined arrangements of the original album s tracks with mind-bending space echoes and a plethora of other studio effects. Originally released in 1979, y represents a stunning culmination of The Pop Group s crucial nonconformity. Preceded by a meteoric rise in recognition, y firmly realized the latent potential of the group s early years. From playing Bristol youth clubs to early gigs supporting Pere Ubu and Patti Smith to gracing the front covers of NME and Melody Maker, The Pop Group s progression to the forefront had been swift. y is ranked by The Wire as one of the 100 Most Important Records Ever Made and by Pitchfork as one of the Best Albums of the 70s.
