Alborosie - ASI [7-INCH SINGLE] Colored Vinyl date 12/17/2021

The world of music was forever changed after the of Wayne Smith's titanic track InchUnder Me Sleng TengInch - Built utilising the 'Rock' pre-set that he and a friend had discovered on a Casio MT40 keyboard in 1985 the InchSleng TengInch riddim ushered in the digital age of Dancehall Reggae and made producer Prince Jammy's career, consequently Jammy was crowned the King not long after. The riddim was popular enough to spawn literally hundreds of versions and imitations, and it continues to be used as a standard backing track for Reggae and Dancehall deejays forty years after it's original .

Daptone Records is proud to present the latest offering from producer extraordinaire, Victor Axelrod. Initially voiced over a midi demo at Axelrod's Don't Trip Studio, InchOne Step AheadInch is one of the last recordings made during Sugar Minott's exceptionally influential career. The backing track, courtesy of The Inversions, was cut at Diamond Mine studio during the same session as the rocksteady update of Bob & Gene's InchI Can Be CoolInch. With Axelrod at the helm the team transforms the cult classic ballad, originally recorded by Aretha Franklin, into an ethereal piece of rocksteady magic. In addition to writing a wealth of original material, Sugar Minott had a deep appreciation and a passion for not only Jamaican ska, rocksteady, and reggae (which he helped develop) but also American soul and pop music. He brought enduring versions of Michael Jackson's InchGood Thing Going,Inch The Persuaders InchLove Gonna Pack UpInch and Dionne Warwick's InchA House Is Not A HomeInch to the reggae idiom. InchOne Step AheadInch fits perfectly in this tradition, effortlessly bridging the gap between American pop and Jamaican soul.A1. One Step AheadB1. One Step Ahead (Instrumental)
