Boris Gardiner enjoyed great success leading bands, issuing albums that mixed reggae, ska, soul and funk, and collaborating with the likes of Lee (Scratch) Perry and Herman Chin-Loy in their legendary studios and playing on hundreds of records. So many that he lost count. Sometime around the issue of his first Boris Gardiner Happening album (a loft classic, with David Mancuso favoring Gardiner's take of Booker T. and the MG's 'Melting Pot' at his legendary gathering) and his soundtrack to Every N----r Is A Star (famously sampled by \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/search?type=article%2Cpage%2Cproduct\u0026amp;q=Kendrick+Lamar\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eKendrick Lamar\u003c\/a\u003e and used as the introduction to the film \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/search?type=article%2Cpage%2Cproduct\u0026amp;q=Moonlight\u0026amp;_=pf\u0026amp;pf_v_artist_manufacturer=Nicholas%20Britell\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eMoonlight\u003c\/a\u003e), Ultra Super Dub Vols. 1 and 2 surfaced... two albums so obscure that for the longest time Boris wasn't even aware that they existed.

Released in tiny runs in handmade, silkscreened, paste-on covers, they have become some of the most sought-after Jamaican albums. Now, issued under Boris' guidance, and with a detailed booklet by Jeff Mao, which delves into the deep scene which birthed these remarkable records, we can finally consider the last, unheard portion of this landmark musician's career.\" - Now-Again Records\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003efirst-ever official release of holy grail dub \/ reggae album \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eblack vinyl pressing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eincludes printed foldout insert w\/ extensive liner notes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eoriginal release year: 197?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emusic label: Now-Again Records 2022\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Boris Gardiner","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl LP","offer_id":40140881985626,"sku":"rr-2403","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/4542\/products\/boris-superultra-blackvinyl-1.jpg?v=1759287650","url":"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/products\/boris-gardiner-ultra-super-dub-v-1-vinyl-lp","provider":"turntablelab.mom","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
