Crucial Alpha & Omega

The Don's selections cross time, space and genre. His Crucial Vinyl this week is Watch & Pray, released by Alpha & Omega in 1992.

The Don's selections cross time, space and genre. Each week, as well as blending his favourite new music with classics from the UK, USA, Jamaica, Africa and way beyond, he highlights a piece of Crucial Vinyl - a cherished album from his own collection. This week it's Watch & Pray, released by Alpha & Omega in 1992.

Don says, "I remember first hearing this and being blown away by its authentic heavyweight dub. I assumed it was an obscure Jamaican effort that I'd somehow missed. Imagine my surprise to find out it was actually made by a caucasian duo based in Cornwall! I went out straightaway and bought their previous three albums, and I've been on their case ever since, we're talking 25 albums and counting.".
