The dub is a militant, clattering, tearaway, raw monster-slayer, with Johnny Clarke at the controls, for his own label. Total murder.
Rohan Lee for his own Rainbow label in 1990. Spirited sufferers, with tasty muted trumpet and lovely, expansive harmony singing. Recorded at Channel One and mixed at Aquarius.
Tight, heartfelt, urgent sufferers. Niney when the two sevens clashed.
Ferocious Niney genius.
Tommy McCook leads the swingeing horns, galloping east of the River Nile. Sounds like Dennis Emmanuel Brown, wailing six feet under. A jaw-dropping, no-prisoners Tubbys dub.
Red hot terror.
Great album this; recommended with infernal heat. Beautiful close-harmony singing, killer tunes, tough rhythms, engaging songs. Junjo at Maxfield Avenue, with the Roots Radics. Heavy and luminous from start to finish.
Ten vivid, dynamic dubs from Randy’s legendary Studio 17, in North Parade, with Karl Pitterson taking over from Errol Thompson, alongside Clive Chin… stripping, tweaking and burnishing these superbly limber rhythms by Skin Flesh & Bones, the Wailers Band and Now Generation.
Pure, expert instrumental reggae — no bells, no whistles — to run alongside vocal cuts by Ta-Teasha Love, Tony Tuff, Carlos Malcolm and co.
Originally released on Impact! in 1975, in a pressing of barely two hundred copies.
Superb 1983 LP out of Channel One.
