Always had that familiar sound to me but I thought it was from 60's films or TV or something I wouldn't have heard any of those?Marky Dread wrote: ↑06 Feb 2019, 5:16pmThe whole thing is simply nuts
similar thing here although I thought it was from an old 70s advert.101Walterton wrote: ↑06 Feb 2019, 5:21pmAlways had that familiar sound to me but I thought it was from 60's films or TV or something I wouldn't have heard any of those?Marky Dread wrote: ↑06 Feb 2019, 5:16pmThe whole thing is simply nuts
Do we know anything about the voiceover in that section?
Looking at the guest credits, a certain Gerald Baxter-Warman seems the most likely candidate. Plummy name usually means a plummy voice.
I don't think he's in the guest credits? I remember someone kept putting him on the wikipedia page. I believe that was Den Hegarty on SoS.Heston wrote: ↑06 Feb 2019, 7:03pmLooking at the guest credits, a certain Gerald Baxter-Warman seems the most likely candidate.

Also, did we ever get to the bottom of whether that is Tim Curry doing the voice over at the end of Sound of the Sinners? He is in the guest credits.
I know it's Den Hegarty doing the bass vocals but not sure the voiceover sounds like him? You may have missed my edit in the earlier post but it mentions Tim's involvement here...matedog wrote: ↑06 Feb 2019, 7:25pmI don't think he's in the guest credits?

Should've said "One More Dub". "Look Here" is just a error. Noel ''Sowell'' Bailey was in the ''Roots Radics'' a highly respected studio band that backed people like Bunny Wailer and Gregory Isaacs. He was also associated with Mikey Dread so it's possible he plays guitar on the Mikey dub tracks.Heston wrote: ↑06 Feb 2019, 7:34pmThe guest list on Sandinista is pretty massive but there's a lot of missing info on who does what. Would have been nice to have it broken down properly.

Did they use it in cinema ad's behind the voiceover?
