PHIL PRATT レコード& CD

Review: Since dub music and novelty sci-fi thematics go hand-in-hand, it's easily sayable that it was only a matter of time before dubbing bright spark Phil Pratt (George Phillips) would lend the genre a certain Lucasian fanaticism. The original Star Wars Dub album was first released in 1978 on Burning Sounds, and here it hears a special first-time reissue on picture disc; known across the board for his exceptional skills as a producer, singer, and songwriter, Pratt's Studio One days were well studded by this far-off galaxian moment, which doubled as a marketing boon (a true salesman, his debut record, released two years earlier, was called The Best Dub Album In The World). Though not directly made up of cover versions of classic Mos Eisley Cantina or Imperial March themes, the tunes channel a life-saving, lightsabring steeze, perfect for your next herbalised cosmic gallivant.
