Originally the backing group for the late reggae great Prince Far-I, Creation Rebel worked with Adrian Sherwood from 1978 - 1982, recording some of the best reggae dub music this side of Lee Perry during the early English punk era. Brilliant musicians such as Eskimo Fox, Bigga Morrison, Style Scott and Crucial Tony made music that is languorous, funky, spacey, and totally intoxicating.  The debut Creation Rebel album, originally released on pre-On-U Sound label Hitrun in 1978. The original band, featuring the drummer Eric "Fish" Clarke, had been a studio outfit known as the Arabs, now primarily remembered for their work with Prince Far I, including the classic dub set "Cry Tuff Dub Encounter Chapter 1". The rhythm tracks for this album had been laid in Jamaica but the overdubs were worked up at Gooseberry Studios in London. The experienced Dennis Bovell was the engineer, with the young Adrian Sherwood on his very first production assignment encouraging him to make it “madder” and add more and more effects!
