Until That Day showcases five original songs from Easy Star All-Stars, the band behind Dub Side Of The Moon and Radiodread, two of the most successful reggae albums of the decade. The two records combined have sold over 200,000 copies since their release). It also includes a previously unreleased dub version of "Climbing Up The Walls" from the Radiodread sessions.
As anyone who has seen any of the band's 200+ shows in the past five years knows, on top of playing cuts from both tribute albums, the Easy Star All-Stars also have a number of their own original songs that make it into their sets. Five of these fan favorites have found their way on to Until That Day, showcasing the diverse writing talents of many members of the band. The classic roots cut "Got To Get Away" features guitarist Junior Jazz on vocals and horns arranged by sax player Jennifer Hill. The music for "Bed Of Rose" was written by drummer Ive-09, while Menny More supplied the vocals for this dancehall track. "Like The Stars" was written by keyboardist Jeremy Mage, with lyrics by singer Tamar-kali. "Until That Day" was written by bassist Ras I Ray (and was in the set at the first ever live show by the band in May 2003). It includes a chat by Menny More. "The Finest" was written by Jeremy Mage and Menny More, again with horn arrangements by Jennifer Hill.
The EP was produced by Easy Star All-Stars founder Michael Goldwasser along with the band. The tracks were recorded in between European tours last summer that brought the band to the UK, Ireland, Egypt, Poland, Italy and Turkey. The Easy Star All-Stars will continue their busy touring schedule in 2008, with shows announced for February 15-18 in three cities in Colorado (including two nights opening for Michael Franti and Spearhead in Vail) and two shows in Halifax and Moncton, Canada, March 21-22.
