Album info

A whole 27 years ago, members of Jamaican legends The Skatalites recorded an album at Lee Perry’s Black Ark studios. Dub supremo King Tubby got his hands on the tapes and the result is the audaciously funky dub album of your (and our) dreams. Mad, phasing drum breaks (Sealing Dub), rolling (acoustic) basslines, skewed-to-hell analogue synths (Starlight) and uplifting, infectious party-time business (Bottom Dub) – it’s all here. Stone-cold classic 70s dub that will ignite any party lucky enough to have it – age not an issue.

–RF, Ministry

The legendary all-star group gets beautifully spliced and diced. The sound is exquisite and the dubs are totally transfixing. …. this is a definitive dub selection that includes the scarce, anthemic, vocal bonus ‘Starlight’. An unmissable history lesson. 5/5.

–Muzik

Vintage dub gold, fresh from the vaults. Musicians from the greatest band ever to emerge from Jamaica: men like Tommy McCook, Roland Alphonso, Ernest Ranglin and bassie supreme Lloyd Brevett, mixed and blended by Lee Perry and King Tubby. Augustus Pablo, Ras Michael and Leroy “Horsemouth” Wallace are in there too. Tracks from these 1975 sessions have been released before but this is the most comprehensive collection from the sessions yet, including three previously unreleased tracks (most notably Tony Brevett’s original Rastafarian vocal cut ‘Starlight’). Nowadays dub is digital business, but listen to the blaring horns, slapping bass and niyabinghi drums of these recordings and hear how it should be done. Pure, organic and fresh from the roots.

–JR, Straight No Chaser
