Black Jade Contempo is one of the most coveted English dub albums, shrouded in mystery yet undeniably ahead of its time with its deep, sophisticated sound. Recorded between 1975-76 and self-released, the album made its first vinyl appearance at the 1976 Notting Hill Carnival—where the band reportedly handed out copies for free on the streets. This rare and visionary release has since become a holy grail for dub enthusiasts.
