EPIC SOUND BATTLES CHAPTER TWO PLAYGROUP 1982 ON-U SOUND LP via Cherry Red
Adrian Sherwood collective featuring various musicians.
A very cool and pretty rare post-punk dub album that looks in excellent condition. Maybe unplayed. Just needs a clean. 
Please see the pix and see what you think.

"Adrian Sherwood's entry into the music business in the mid 1970s was primarily through the UK reggae scene. As time went on though, his desire to experiment with new sounds saw him increasingly expand his horizons and array of musicians to include many of those on the cutting edge at the time. The New Age Steppers first typified his ideal of seamlessly fusing genres to create something that was greater than the sum of its component parts. However, as the early 80s wore on, a number of other collectives emerged that took experimentation and new production techniques to yet another level. Among them was the Playgroup.
While they were little more than a studio collective of musicians who happened to be "around" at the time, their recorded legacy, mainly their two "Epic Sound Battles" chapters (1: ON-U LP 10 and 2: ON-U LP 26), still sound as fresh today as when they were first recorded. In true On-U tradition the personnel were many, varied and frequently "borrowed" from other on-label projects. For example, names such as Bruce "Minty" Smith, Sean "Hogg" Oliver, Charlie "Eskimo Fox", Nick Plytas, Style Scott, Steve Beresford, "Deadly Headley" Bennett, John Waddington, Bonjo Iyabinghi Noah and George Oban will all be familiar to owners of New Age Steppers, Creation Rebel and African Head Charge albums of the era."
