Virgin Ubiquity: Unreleased Recordings 1976 - 1981

Roy Ayers
In the Autumn of 2001 BBE released a Beat Generation album produced
by one of Hip Hops originator’s – Marley Marl. During the recording of this
album Roy Ayers & Edwind Birdsong, along with BBE label boss Peter
Adarkwah got together and re-recorded one of Roy’s lesser know classics
‘Hummin’. That day the seed of a relationship was planted. Fast-forward
two years the seed has grown and blossomed. Recognizing that Peter’s
appreciation went beyond fanatical fandom, Roy gave him unlimited
access to literally hundreds of unreleased recordings. The album before
you is the first in what is likely to be a series of albums, giving public life to
what can only be termed ‘the holy grail’ of any true music lovers search.
On first hearing these recordings, the excitement pulsing through the
office was incredible, a steady stream of friends started to queue outside
to listen in awe at the treasures inside. We pulled out our existing Roy
Ayers collection, and marvelled at the quality of these newfound tracks,
beautiful classics, every one of them.
This album will appeal equally to Hip Hoppers, Soul lovers, Jazz Freaks
Young, old in fact anyone who likes quality music…true to the bbe adage:
“Real music…for real people”
