On-U Sound will release the eighth volume in their Pay It All Back compilation series.

As with previous instalments, the release will feature exclusives, alternate mixes, previews and unreleased tracks from the label’s extended family, including African Head charge, Tackhead, Mark Stewart and Andy Fairley.

The first single to be shared is an unreleased track from the late, great Lee “Scratch” Perry, who was a close affiliate of the label for many years. Titled ‘The Many Names Of God’, the song features Nightmares On Wax vocal collaborator LSK, and is an outtake from the sessions that produced the Rainford and Heavy Rain albums.

Speaking about the release, Adrian Sherwood explains: ‘As usual with the Pay It All Back series, the intention is to promote our upcoming releases and productions. Also on offer are previously unreleased gems, versions of tracks exclusive to this release and more from artists that we’re keen to promote. Sadly in the last year we have lost so many music giants from amongst us, including Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry, George Oban and John Sharpe. Lee Perry laughed at death. It was to him just a part of life and another beginning…I trust Lee. I’m very proud of this album, it goes out to all On-UCrew, our missing and irreplaceable friends.’
