Full Circle

Czukay, Jah Wobble and Jaki Liebezeit, dub meeting krautrock.
Holger Czukay, 1982

Wikipedia gives Virgin and 1982 and no recording dates or producer; Jah Wobble put the album's release at late 1982, but Trouser Press lists a four-song How Much Are They EP on Island in 1981 and the New Vinyl Villain dates the 12-inch to 1981, so an EP in 1981 and an album in 1982 is likely, though we could not verify labels or catalogue numbers. Czukay plays guitar, organ, piano, French horn and percussion and engineered and mixed; Liebezeit plays drums, percussion and trumpet; Wobble plays bass, vocals and synthesizer; Mark Angelo Lusardi and Rene Tinner are credited on recording. Derek's Music Blog calls it a groundbreaking record in which dub and krautrock melted into one, an underground cult album and not a commercial success; AllMusic gave 2 of 5. Gronland lists it on CD and LP, and "Full Circle R.P.S. (No. 7)" is on the 2018 Cinema box.
