Description
Phil Pratt (George Phillips Pratt) was an influential figure in the Jamaican music industry, recognised for his work as a producer, singer, and songwriter. Beginning his career in the 1960s as a vocalist, he soon transitioned into production, becoming an important contributor to Jamaica's golden era of reggae throughout the 1960s and 1970s.
As a producer, Pratt worked with leading artists including Al Campbell, Dennis Brown, Horace Andy, and Ken Boothe, creating recordings that became foundational to the reggae genre. His production credits include notable releases such as The War Is On, as well as key tracks like Dennis Brown's "Money in My Pocket" and Horace Andy's "You Are My Angel."
Pratt's production legacy--defined by his ear for melody, rhythm, and artist collaboration--continues to hold significant influence in reggae history. Phil Pratt has since passed away, but his work remains widely respected and celebrated.
Originally released by Burning Sounds in 1978, Star Wars Dub highlights Pratt's distinctive production style. This new edition faithfully reissues the album, featuring an insert with sleeve notes and pressing on limited edition 180 gram Purple Transparent vinyl.
