Pressure Sounds

Profile:
Pressure Sounds began as a subsidiary of Adrian Sherwood's On-U Sound label run Pete Holdsworth. Now it is it's own self-supporting entity. It's primary purpose is to restore, re-master, compile, and re-issue classic reggae tracks along with an in depth story of the artist. However it is not completely a re-issue label. Some of the releases are from master recordings thought to be long lost and forgotten about.

Review by orangecat Jun 05, 2005 (edited over 4 years ago)
Top roots-rockers-dub label. PS and Blood & Fire are probably the best two around. Some things to keep in mind when buying. CDs generally contain bonus tracks. Double LPs are generally arranged to DJ with. Unfortunately if you like vinyl for audio reasons, many of the records I have purchased are in really bad shape out of the box. If you can find a copy that doesn't have the vinyl is bubbling up somewhere or some other pressing defect - hang onto it! I think everything I've ever got from them has a noisy lead. If the stoned guys at the pressing plant would keep their sticky resin fingers off the records it would help.
