A New Chapter of Dub is an album by English reggae band Aswad, released by Island Records in April 1982. The record is a dub version of Aswad's previous album New Chapter (1981), and was produced by the group with Michael "Reuben" Campbell. Having felt New Chapter under-performed commercially because it was too intricate for mainstream reggae audiences (the market Aswad wanted to break first), the group conceived the dub remix album as a way of appealing to core reggae audiences. The record emphasises dub techniques like delay, echo and drop-out and was among the first British dub albums to use tape and digitally manipulated echo on a horn section. Although not a commercial success, A New Chapter of Dub received critical acclaim and has since been cited by some writers as one of the greatest dub albums of all time. - Wikipedia

"Don't turn around" - Aswad

Brinsley has got a natty red waistcoat, helps him stand out from the crowd.

As Peter Powell intimated, Aswad have been around for years and years, they've been on the verge of the top 40 for about four years, and Pete had properly championed them in a way few Radio 1 DJs ever did.

Was this Tina Turner b-side representative of Aswad? Not really. Did it open the door to better things later in the year and make sure they're remembered? Too right.

"Don't turn around" - Aswad

Cover of an old Tina Turner b-side, with the band's reggae edges smoothed off for mass consumption. And it worked - to a point.

Gave them name recognition and an audience for when they played their own, superior, songs. But only to a point: by the end of the year, they're once again struggling to make the top 40.

Amongst acts *in the studio today*, Aswad win Top of the Hats.
