Dub Syndicate, "Mafia"

KOSMO's VINYL of the Week:
This week it's back to 1989 and Dub Syndicate's version of "Mafia" from the CD/LP "Strike The Balance"...

"I chose this cover of Lloyd Park's 1974 classic "Mafia" as it's the version I have played more than any other. Dub Syndicate were a collective led by Adrian Sherwood (produced/remixed all kinds of records) and Lincoln "Style" Scott (one-time Creation Rebel drummer). The vocal is by Bim Sherman. The song reminds me of the poet Jock Scot's description of The Clash as being "like a Mafia Beatles"." - KV
