"I
man don't want to watch no TV, I
man wanna listen to a Dub LP!" So says Ranking
Dread on his
debut dub album.
Originally
released in 1982 this Dub LP has
gained cult status due in part to the fantastic cover art of Rod Vass.
To
some this is THE
DUB album by
which all
others should be measured. It's hard for us to be objective about that
statement but when
you hear the incredible mixes from King Tubby we're sure that you will have to
think about it too.
King Tubby takes ridims laid by Sly
& Robbie
and injects them with a power that screams
"this is a Tubby's mix." The masterful use of echo
and reverb that goes
to the outer edge of dub yet never loses control. Check out the Stellar
mix of Bob
Marleys "I Don't Want To Wait In Vain."
There
were five tracks to a side on the
original LP and the reissue LP is an exact copy of the original with King Tubby and Sly & Robbie on the A
side with apprentice Scientist and Roots Radics doing the honors on side B.
Scientist flexes his muscles on Side B (LP),
track 6 on the CD, with an
absolutely incredible show of echo control on the opening drum
sequence. Each track
showing that the Master had passed on his skills to his protege and
apprentice, then you
get to one of those gems, a crucial rendition of "NO NO NO." Not to
be missed...
There
were only 1,000 pressed in 1982 and very
rarely do they surface to the buying public. This release will give
everyone the
oppertunity to have their own copy and play it till it's worn out...
