Here’s a beautiful story of a cassette lost and found that brought back memories of old. But let The Wirebender tell the story.
“The “PLAY IT ALL BACK 1” show is from a bootleg cassette discovered by the Wirebender in a charity shop last year. I had spotted a photocopied picture of Bim Sherman on the cassette’s front sleeve (I had been fortunate in the past to have worked with Bim) who appears on the cassette’s live performances. We will broadcast his performance later here on Radio On.
This show features live recording of Mark Stewart and the Mafia.

It also has an exclusive interview with Adrian Sherwood on the ideas behind the releasing of his budget LP’s and subsequent tours. Adrian Sherwood provides an insight into the idea of both the tour and the releases.
“I had tried it 10 years before with a show at the Rocket in London’s Holloway Road with Creation Rebel, New Age Steppers, Allan Pillay and London Underground. I remember it distinctly as John Lydon was there having a laugh at the back of the hall. It was the first On U sound party.
Bobby Marshall and I planned the “Pay it all back tour” for months. The “Pay it all back” idea came from Mark Stewart
who introduced me to a lot of William Burroughs recordings. On one of them Burroughs was saying “Pay it all back .. pay it all back”. So I thought fair play pay?….Pay it all back to the people who support you by giving away an album.”
The first part of the show features David Asher at the controls. David is the singer/songwriter for “The Process”, an award winning reggae band from Detroit. David has recently started to collaborate on tracks with On U Sound . He presents a mix of inspiring tracks with style and panache!
