Keith Hudson - The Black Breast Has Produced Her Best, Flesh Of My Skin Blood Of My Blood Vinyl LP

The Black Breast Has Produced Her Best, Flesh Of My Skin Blood Of My Blood, Hudson’s fourth, was released in 1974 to critical reception in London, paving the way for his future success and setting a foundation for his creative legacy, which was cut tragically short when he died from cancer in 1984. Hudson’s original records are to this day some of the most sought after by reggae vinyl collectors.

In Jamaica, Hudson is best known for his standout hit record with Big Youth, “Ace Ninety Skank” and his debut production with singer Ken Boothe “Old Fashioned Way.” From there Hudson’s output maximized the use of remix and versions that were the hallmark of early dancehall and soundsystem culture.

VP’s meticulous remaster of the original Mamba pressing of Flesh Of My Skin, Blood Of My Blood includes three tracks not on that original, plus extensive liner notes from Hudson biographer Vincent Ellis, combining to make this the definitive release of an obscure reggae classic.
