"This is the real thing. The original, the best playpen for your ears. The name Playgroup was later misappropriated by a pretender of far less talent than the boys playing on this disc, who include the formidable Bruce Smith, George Oban, Style Scott, Steve Beresford, Gerry Malenkani, Lol Coxhill. And let's not forget to mention the Prisoner, Crocodile, Kishi, Bongo, and the one and only Bubblers. Guys who don't muck around.
From the On U Sound stable of sound engineering, with the great Adrian Sherwood at the helm, all of these tunes still sound epic. Check out, in particular, The Slither, Burn, Ballroom control, Going overdrawn, and Going for a song. Each one a dub masterpiece."
