Barbican Dub Keith Hudson
Rightfully given its correct title here but listed on the "Brand"
CD as "Darkness Dub". This joyful track was contempory with
Keith Hudson's other tunes for "Rasta Communication" but did
not make the transition from its dub precursor "Brand".
Problems Horace Andy
A classic Horace Andy tune which he recut for his own awesome "In
the Light/Dub" set, presented here in its original form, production
by Leonard "Santic" Chin and mix by the great Errol Thompson.
To be found with other tunes from the same period on "Santic &
Friends".
Ras Menilik Congo (Harp) Augustus Pablo
A melodica dub cut of the Hugh Mundell tune "Run Revolution a Come",
the vocal version can be found on the album "Africa Must Be Free
By 1983", "Revolution Dub" is the Jammys version on the
companion dub album. Unreleased to date on CD.
Red Blood Black Skin The Prophet
Originally released as a 7" pre in Jamaica on Prince Fari's own Cry
Tuff label, the rhythm on this tune is traced in dub as "Good Music
Brother" on Prince Fari & the Arabs "Dub to Africa".
First release on CD.
Mansion Of Invention Prince Fari & the Arabs
The closing track from Chapter
III of the legendary Cry Tuff Dub Encounter series, this vintage classic
is slated for re-release by Pressure Sounds later in 1995. In which the
Prince leads the Arabs (a.k.a. the Radics) through an ultra-tuff outing
including vocal contributions from Slit Women and various bleeps and whooshes
from Toop & Beresford.
Black Belt Jones Keith Hudson & DJ
This 1974 cut originally issued as a 7" on Faith is an example of
what can now be seen as a whole sub-culture of reggae which ran mainly
from the late 60's through to the early 70's - blaxploitation reggaexploitation
- of which Lee Perry and Derrick Harriott were amongst the lead players.
The DJ sounds like Jah Youth but we assured it is not he!
Tribal War Little Roy
An underrated artist who occupies a top spot in the premier division of
hardcore righteous roots singers for his ultra-cultural delivery. This
early 70's classic from Little Roy, still versioned today, can be found
on the scheduled Pressure Sounds release "Tafari Earth Uprising"
virtually a "Best of Little Roy".
Sinners Keith Hudson
The lyrical content of this track probably prevented its vinyl release
at the time it was cut. On the rhythm of "I'm no fool" from
"Rasta Communication", the dub version can be located as "Image
Dub" the opening track of "Brand". Unreleased to date in
any form.
Bass Ace Prince Fari & the Arabs
Lifted from the "Dub
to Africa" CD - a release of the original Hitrun album with two
bonus cuts.
The Same Song Israel Vibration
Title track of the original album recently retrieved by Pressure Sounds,
but with an extended version on the reissue - and bonus cuts of "Crisis"
and "Crisis Dub".
King Tubby's Dub Song - Augustus Pablo
A Pressure Sounds presonal favourite to conclude this sampler, licensed
from Pablo for the occasion.
