On U Sound

On U Sound is a UK based experimental reggae/dub label founded by Adrian Sherwood. With a rich history and an impressive catalogue of releases, the label has become synonymous with innovative and boundary-pushing music. Adrian Sherwood, also known as *Skip* (artist credits page), is not only the founder but also operates as an artist on the label. It's important to note that On U Sound should not be confused with the US based DJ/club remix label ON-USound.

Related labels such as Pressure Sounds and Green Tea are part of the On U Sound family, showcasing a diverse range of musical styles. EFA released some remastered titles with slightly altered cover artwork before going under in 2004. However, On-U Sound was relaunched in 2002 and made a powerful comeback with Little Axe's album 'Stone Cold Ohio' which marked its resurgence.

If you're looking for newer releases from On U Sound, keep an eye out for catalogue numbers starting from ON-U CD 1001 and higher. The Phonographic Copyright (p) and Copyright (c) belong to On-U Sound Records Ltd., ensuring that their unique sound remains protected.

Adrian Sherwood's second LP release with On-U pulled from the ashes with six bonus tracks. Formed from the original line-up of legendary Factory Records outfit The Durutti Column and Alberto Y Lost Trios Paranoias's Bob Harding, The Mothmen released their debut LP 'Pay Attention!' in 1981, cutting a deal with a young Adrian Sherwood, whose On-U Sound label was still getting off the ground. The imprint's second album release, 'Pay Attention!' struggled to gain the support the title demanded and has since become little more than a footnote in the larger On-U Sound story. However, before the Sherwood and the label went on to define reggae and dub culture bubbling up in the UK, On-U dabbled in Manchester's Factory-driven DIY post-punk scene, with Sherwood lending a dubwise hand on tracks like 'Afghan Farmer Driving Cattle', alongside tracks like 'Not Moving' and 'Change Direction' and 'Mothman' which recall the psych-leaning, repetitive drive of German bands like Can and the second incarnation of Amon Duul. The reissue has been remastered from the original tapes and comes with six bonus tracks, three of which are previously unheard, a 12″ x 12″ four-panel foldout and a download code.
