“The Pay It All Back series started 35 years ago!” Sherwood explains. “These compilations were designed to promote the world of On-U, a ‘payback’ for the people who supported us and to encourage others to investigate the label’s work.”
“Pay It All Back features previews of several forthcoming On-U releases, unique mixes, deep cuts, and unreleased tracks from Roots Manuva, Sherwood & Pinch, Lee “Scratch” Perry, Coldcut, Ghetto Priest, Gary Lucas (Captain Beefheart’s Magic Band), Mark Stewart, Horace Andy, and Little Axe.”
As has become tradition, the tunes are bridged by “special pirate radio style” intro and outro segments.
Its 2xLP edition, which lands 23 years after volume 6 was released, includes an 8-page booklet, as well as a vinyl-only track.
Pay It All Back follows Adrian Sherwood’s 2018 collaboration with Jeremy Deller, which saw the pair sampling bat frequencies on their new glow-in-the-dark Freetail Dub EP.
