Bim Sherman - Collection '1982-2017

Tracks list

One of reggae's most enduring cult figures, Bim Sherman was also among the most
highly regarded singers of his generation, with his sweet, wistful, and
unmistakable voice acclaimed by scholars as one of the purest ever to emerge
from the Jamaican music scene. Born in 1950, he first attracted notice with his
1974 debut single, "One Hundred Years in Babylon"; the Kingston studio circuit
soon beckoned, but Sherman instead went his own way, refusing to perform any
material except songs that he wrote himself. As a result, he remained
under-recorded throughout his career, a predicament rare in the annals of reggae
history; by 1976 he was even forced to form his own labels, Scorpio and Red Sea,
selling his singles on the streets of Kingston. Self-released efforts like
"Golden Locks" and "My Whole World" earned Sherman a small but devoted
following, and in 1978 the British label Tribesman Records compiled his early
work on the LP Love Forever (later remastered and reissued as Love Forever: The
Classic Jamaican Recordings).

He relocated to England in the 1980s, there joining the On-U Sound stable headed
by producer Adrian Sherwood; with Sherwood at the helm, in 1982 Sherman recorded
the acclaimed Across the Red Sea before forming another self-owned label,
Century, to release an LP of the same name. Albums including Crazy World and
Haunting Ground followed, but he did not break through to international
audiences until the release of his 1996 LP Miracle, an acoustic reunion with
Sherwood that also included contributions from drum'n'bass guru Talvin Singh.
Among the most renowned reggae releases of the year, it inspired 1997's It Must
Be a Dream, a collection of remixes. Rub-A-Dub followed in the spring of 2000. ~
