Partisan Records/Liberator Music is proud to announce a special reissue of Cymande’s seminal debut, newly remastered at Abbey Road Studios and available for the very first time on translucent, orange crush vinyl, housed in a gatefold jacket and paper inner sleeve.
‘Cymande’ features several of the band’s best known - and oft-sampled - classics like “Dove,” “The Message” and more.
They’re the greatest band you’ve never heard of. Unsung heroes whose music was political, spiritual, and generations ahead of its time. Their story has never been told. Until now...
Cymande, a group of black British musicians who all came to the UK from the Caribbean as children, released three brilliant albums in quick succession in the early 70s and were embraced in the USA. But, in the UK, they faced a music business beset by prejudice against home grown black talent and were largely ignored. They split in 1975. However, their music lived on, as successive generations of artists and fans found and embraced their songs.
2022 looks to be a new beginning and a rediscovery and rebirth for the legendary UK band. The brand new reissue of the band’s seminal self-titled album, ‘Cymande’, was remastered at Abbey Road Studios in 2022, and is presented in a gatefold sleeve pressed on Translucent Orange Crush vinyl for the very first time.
This year, Cymande were also the subject of an acclaimed documentary titled ‘Getting It Back: The Story Of Cymande’, which had its world premiere screening at SXSW. ‘Getting It Back’ was directed by Tim Mackenzie-Smith and features interviews with a galaxy of musicians and producers influenced and enthralled by their music, including Mark Ronson, Jim James, Kool DJ Red Alert, DJ Maseo and Louie Vega. The film also screened at this year’s BFI London Film Festival, which ran October 5-16.
“They turn grim urban reality into an empowering statement, a forward-looking philosophy that still resonates” - MOJO (5*)
“‘Cymande’ stands as a slippery classic on its own terms" Uncut (8/10)
