A follow-up to his recently released and critically-acclaimed Rainford set. The A-side of this EP serves up an extended version of album highlight 'Makumba Rock', vocal mashed into dub in classic Jamaican discomix style/ On the flip is the essential non-album track 'Heaven & Hell', a psychedelic funk shuffle with decaying horns disintegrating into the fog of effects and relentless Upsetter wisdom. Both cuts are exclusive to this release, the latest in On-U's long-running and highly collectable discoplate series. The 10' vinyl is limited to 1,000 copies for the world. Acclaim for Rainford (ONULP/CD144): 'Rainford is a late-career answer to 1978's Roast Fish, Collie Weed & Corn Bread and beyond all reasonable expectation, fully its equal' ''''' - MOJO ''Rainford' shows why the man dubbed 'Lee' for 'Little' - because of his short stature - has had such towering influence' 8/10 - DJ Mag 'There's something rather touching about the On-U Sound boss anchoring these twilight reflections from the 83 year old Upsetter ' it's refreshing to hear him [LSP] speak from the heart' - Uncut 'Rainford, with production from On-U Sound's Adrian Sherwood, is a classic set of Scratch vocals: science fiction nursery rhymes, apocalyptic lullabies, their melodies light as air yet rocksteady' - The Wire
