    Joy Division manager Rob Gretton talented spotted X-o-dus in the late seventies. They were a Manchester reggae band who you might know from their single 'English Black Boys.' It was produced by legendary UK dub don Dennis Blackbeard Bovell and lends its name to this newly remastered compilation which collects together seven of the group's best tracks on 500 copies of vinyl. That epic ten-minute single opens up with its meandering leads and hooky guitar riffs, then the likes of 'See Them A'Come' and 'Society' further showcase the band's laid-back, deeply immersive take on dub.
