Easy Star All-Stars | Easy Star’s Lonely Hearts Dub Band | Vinyl

Following their acclaimed dub versions of Dark Side of the Moon and OK Computer, Easy Star All-Stars turned their attention to the Beatles’ 1967 landmark, rebuilding each song in dub and roots reggae style. The album enlists a deep bench of reggae royalty — Luciano, Steel Pulse, Max Romeo, Sugar Minott, U-Roy, and Michael Rose among them — to reinterpret songs like ‘With a Little Help from My Friends’ and ‘A Day in the Life.’ Released on Easy Star Records, the project maintains the original album’s sequencing and structure while transforming its psychedelic pop into heavy dub grooves and vocal harmonies. It extended Easy Star’s reputation as the go-to act for genre-bending reggae tributes to classic rock albums.
