dont know ...but probably
although some Bootsy Collins stuff verges on trip hop....especially played at the wrong speed
but a guy we worked with in England, Jon Rivers produced Ghost Town and has the gold disc on his studio wall
lovely chap too, camper than a camper van but a fantastic bloke
he had fond memories of making the Ghost Town and said non of the Specials thought it would have anything like the impact it had....a lot of it was made up on the spot too....plenty of weed was involved obviously.... and the real genius of the band was the black guy on vocals and not so much Terry Hall, the bands perceived main man
one of the best records ever made probably
