Reviews

    "It's a long and tedious tale but take it from me - there are no heroes or villains and taking Scientist's name off the Greensleeves albums was a legal requirement due to Scientist's one (and only) successful court case. That French ruling was why the official albums weren't available for many years and in fact only the flooding of the record shops with bootleg copies supposed to originate in Russia or Italy forced VP into a strategy to protect their copyright - and my copyright in the artwork for the six Scientist albums released by Greensleeves. I have total respect for Scientist as a mix maestro and would be happy to design covers for him - same way as I worked on the Sublime and Heavy Manners covers that feature skills. Nothing but respect for the dubmaster Hopeton / Overton Browne from me."

    This statement is from Tony McDermott, the artist of the cover.

      One of the worst and disrespectful reissues ever done in the history of reissues ... two thumbs down!

        if not illegal, it's disrespectful as hell. changing the character that looks like scientist in all the cover art is just wrong. DON'T THIS BS

          It's better to pirate this stuff than to the crook "producers" at green sleeves. Don't be fooled, Linval and Junjo only own the rights but did not write the music.

            These 2016 reissues with the artist's name (Scientist) changed to the producer's name "presents" are apparently the result of the 2005 court battle that Scientist fought and lost against Greensleeves. However unfair that outcome may have been, these are official releases by the legal owner of the works who have repackaged and credited them to protect themselves from future claims by the remix engineer.

              I have all the originals and as far as I am concerned this is and was Scientist at the realm.

                Licensing issues aside, these Greensleeves reissues sound fantastic, in my opinion. The bonus discs are pretty sweet too. Definitely worth the money. It's really hard to find quality originals at a decent price.

                  Hmm. I'm aware of the controversy around the ownership of these tracks. And grateful for the additional disc of original cuts. But I feel slightly dirty buying this, with Scientist's role minimised to a bland "mixed by" credit on the label. For me, this will always be a Scientist release

                    Fake! This is against the law to change these covers buyer beware do not purchase!
