THE SABRES OF PARADISE
HAUNTED DANCEHALL (WARP, 1994)
There must be countless people who, in the mid-1990s, embarked on a fruitless search through the nation’s bookshops for James Woodbourne’s Haunted Dancehall, the novel that supposedly inspired the album of that name by The Sabres Of Paradise. The emphasis is on “supposedly” because the book, like the Illuminati or the Zionist conspiracy to control the world’s wealth and media, simply doesn’t exist.
