Haunted Ground
Bim Sherman, Roots Radics, Dub Syndicate & The Voluntary - Haunting Ground [RDL 600 UK 1986 24-Bit FLAC] I first heard Haunting Ground on Peel in 1986, and it is a song which has stuck with me ever since. The accompanying album (imho Sherman's best) was partly produced by Adrian Sherwood and featured a whole plethora of On-U Sound'ers alongside Dennis Bovell in one of his alter egos, The Voluntary. My copy is a 1986 original scratchy vinyl, and although there was a brief reissue on Century Records a few years later, I haven't been able to compare the two. My first rip was back in 2015, it was a bit fuzzy so I decided to give this a good deep clean to see how good it sounds on a better set-up. The results are pleasing and a significant upgrade, save for a tiny bit of sibilance, common on eighties pressings and thankfully the crackle has now gone. Enjoy.
