Scientist - Scientist Wins the World Cup (Vinyl)
This edition of the 1982 release 'Wins the World Cup' tells an interesting story and exemplifies a particular moment in Jamaican music history—all the while providing a bit of an object lesson in dub reggae. The cheekily titled album’s release coincided with the 1982 FIFA World Cup—complete with Tony McDermott’s album art depicting a reggae-fied team beating England 6-to-1. Originally titled 'Scientist Wins the World Cup', the record features the legendary Roots Radics and the studio stylings of Overton H. "Scientist" Brown, with producer Henry "Junjo" Lawes acting as "referee." The tracks are labelled "Dangerous Match," numbers 1–10, followed by five separate tracks entitled "Extra Time" and the final track aptly named "Golden Goal." This record points to the role played by the producer in advance of the dub treatment. Overall a classic slice of original Dub Reggae.

OUT OF STOCK ITEMS
Flying Nun only make products available to purchase on our website when they are actually physically held at the store (except pre-orders). Vinyl availability from all local and international suppliers changes on a daily/hourly basis. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee an online order for many items not currently held in stock.
