I think more than any genre I am at the moment enjoying #reggae on #vinyl – also, I have so much still to discover here; to my shame I only vaguely knew this fantastic Birmingham (UK) band until recently.
Dread Zeppelin – “Un-Led-Ed” (1990)
UK release on I.R.S. Records
Limited edition picture disc LP
These guys were so fun, and I still really enjoy this album. I love when a band has a gimmick (mixing genres, mimicking famous bands, etc.) that they commit so fully to while also having the skills to really pull it off. ZEPPELIN MUSIC INNA REGGE STYLE!
I mean, even Robert Plant endorsed these guys, saying their version of “Your Time Is Gonna Come” was better than the original 🤯
And they were from Sierra Madre, CA. For me, that town is best known for where they keep all the floats right before the start of the Rose Parade. 🌹
