Ranking Barnabas dub gem The Cold Crusher gets overdue reissue

Stanley "Barnabas" Bryan sadly passed away before his dub classic The Cold Crusher could be properly reissued. 

Here's the scoop from Helmut Philipps...

“The Cold Crusher” LP was released in the US in the 1970s by Phil Pratt in a mini edition and has never been reissued since. Now, for the first time, it has been superbly remastered by Dubplate & Mastering in Berlin and is now being distributed worldwide by the Italian label Cinedelic Records / Jamdung.  It also includes two pages with liner notes by yours truly and David Katz. I am delighted that David and I have worked together here for the first time, and I give thanks to Jamdung for the cooperation on this wonderful and long overdue reissue out February 6. Don't hesitate, the edition is limited. In memory of Stanley "Barnabas" Bryan, who passed away while we were working on the reissue.
