does 'mixed at On U Sound, Ramsgate' means 'mixed by Adrian Sherwood'?

[Ras Berry]

Don't know. The studio is in the back room of his house, so I imagine if not hands on the desk he'd at least be in attendance

Interesting interview with Trevor Boucaud AKA Passion from 2013 (the On-U stuff starts about 4:30)

Nice artwork on the front of the CD package. Banksy fits Sherwood projects like hand in glove.

The Pride of the Underdog CD?

[Ras Berry]

Kingston Dub and Heart Like A Lion Dub are mixed by Adrian. All the rest bar one are mixed by Matt Smythe at On-U Studio - the bar one being another dub of Kingston by Dennis Rootical of Iration Steppas

Which reminds me.... I really must listen to this CD!

[Ras Berry]

...and six years later I listened to it and it's, umm... not very good really. One track - Temptation Dub - has made its way onto my iPod, and I think I was being generous there
