In the 40 years I've been recording my own music, I've NEVER worked in a professional recording studio. The only time I ever did anything in one was to help with some production on some demos for a friend's band. My own music has always been recorded at some kind of facility in my home or the home of someone else.
Released in 1983, Jah Wobble's Bedroom Album was a complete validation of that DIY aesthetic and set of creative values. Recorded on basic 4 channel gear, literally in the bedroom of Wobble's flat, the album demonstrates that someone with pretty much the exact same setup as I had at the time, could create and release an album on their own record label. It's a powerful statement of intent and ability by a creative force who's spent his entire career successfully paving his own road.
