Dial M For Murder In Dub Style

'Dial M for Murder was recorded at Channel One around 1979/1980 with Sly and Robbie as the rhythm section, Rad Brian on guitar, Bobby Kalphat & Ansell Collins on keyboards and piano and Tommy McCook & Herman Marquis on horns. It is a lean but stellar cast of players and one that was used regularly by Phil Pratt. In particular Bobby Kalphat who was to feature heavily on many of Pratt's recording sessions and cut some great instrumental sides that are well worth the search. This album was named after the Alfred Hitchcock movie 'Dial M for Murder' starring Ray Milland. It is a dynamic production and if not exactly restrained, provides a closing statement in the more cultured, stately style of his collaborator Errol Thompson before the next generation of dub experimentation commenced. The album has become extremely sought after in the collectors' market, and for good reason with it's crisp and tuneful mixes.
