Here is a (now) rare birthday observance, one that I could only execute because DJ Penelope was out of town. Strangely, these impromptu rituals often turn out to be some of my best shows--something to consider. Anyway, it was Jah Wobble night, so as "promised," I took one of his records and played the whole darn thing. Since we're no longer doing Physical Evidence, I wasn't constrained by what was in print or out of print or streamable / not streamable. I think Without Judgement is streamable but I don't know and don't care. It's a great record.
I can tell you how I first came across Without Judgement. I was working at a record store during the first Bush Recession, and we were going out of business. Our clearance sale coincided with end-of-fiscal-year inventory, on the basis of which the soon-to-be-defunct business would be taxed. In order to reduce inventory (and maybe as a going-away present?), the store's assistant manager told us to pick out what we wanted, charge ourselves whatever price we wanted, and get it out of the store.
Without Judgement was one of the things I chose. It was the CD version, which has more tracks on it than the LP. I remember "Burger Bar" with particualr fondness, but alas, I was karmically repaid when someone broke into my apartment a year later and stole most of my cds [leaving my computer untouched--the 90s were such a weird time]. It would be a while before I got around to tracking down copies of the things I lost, and by the time I got another copy of Without Judgement the zeitgeist was about vinyl again, so here we are.
This episode continues my tradition (?) of closing the program with a chill-out piece, with better results this time than last, I think.
