Released by Trojan Records in the UK in 1975, 'Ja-Gan' quickly became a must-have long-player for dub enthusiasts and devotees of the melodica sound first popularised by Augustus Pablo two years earlier. Despite crediting keyboard whizz Leslie Butler as the primary artist, the Harry Johnson-produced LP primarily showcased the talents of singer-turned melodica maestro Joe White, whose proficiency of the instrument rivalled that of his more widely celebrated contemporary, Augustus Pablo. Remarkably, White also went unacknowledged on the front sleeve of 'Dub Wise', the Jamaican pressing of the LP, which instead credited the engineer responsible for mixing the set, Sylvan Morris! Aside from this inexplicable oversight, the album proved hugely popular with record buyers both sides of the Atlantic and since it's original release has become widely acknowledged by Jamaican music aficionados as one of the finest dub collections of the seventies. Yet despite it's iconic status, 'Ja-Gan' remained unavailable to music lovers for over 50 years. Now, at long last, it is finally made available once again, with this deluxe CD version further enhancing the original track- listing with Joe White's highly sought-after instrumental cut of 'Me And Mrs Jones', and a further seven rare mid-70s Harry J dub cuts from the from the Trojan vaults - all of which make their digital debut here.
