Barry Brown

It had been a long time since we heard from Patate Records. However, the Parisian record shop of the same name still manages to keep its head above water, and the label itself also stayed afloat and mainly started to focus on vinyl reissues. Patate Records has always been a hallmark for the better roots and dub classics, and 'Pass Up The Chalice: The Blackbeard Years 1978-83', a compilation of work by the prematurely departed Barry Brown, is no exception.
