• The long-overdue revival of Bim Shermans catalogue begins here. These essential recordings will become widely available again for the first time in decades, opening a newchapter in the appreciation of one of Jamaicas most distinctive voices and representing a major moment for reggae and dub aficionados around the world.This reissue series will not only preserve his legacy but will also offer listeners the chance to experience the depth and timeless resonance of Shermans work in its full glory.

  Bim Shermanborn Jarret Lloyd Vincent, in Westmoreland, Jamaicaholds a unique place in reggae history. Emerging in the mid 70s, his ethereal, haunting vocal style quickly set him apart from his contemporaries. He was soon collaborating with the top producers and musicians of the era, including Adrian Sherwood and the On-U Sound collective,bridging the gap between roots reggae and experimental dub and laying the groundwork for the fusion of Jamaican sounds with the vibrant underground scene in the UK. His career, from Kingston to London to Mumbai, was marked by an artistic daring and spiritual intensity that has earned him enduring respect across generations.

  The centrepiece of this reissue campaign is Ghetto Dub from 1988, a record that distills Shermans artistry into its most potent form. Originally released in a limited number, the album embodies the stark yet soulful beauty of dub production. With its reverb-drenched drums, cavernous basslines, and echo-laden atmospherics, Ghetto Dub transforms Shermans various tracks into spectral presences that drift in and out of the mix.

  The arrangement and productionminimal yet profoundly texturedcaptures both the raw urgency of Jamaican street culture and the forward-looking experimentation of the UK dub scene. Each track unfolds like a meditation, balancing grit with grace, density with space. Ghetto Dub is more than an album; it is an immersive soundscape that reaffirms Bim Sherman as one of reggaes most otherworldly and visionary figures.
