1975 sequel to KT Meets The Upsetter At The Grass Roots Of Dub. Here’s Steve Barker in The Wire: ‘a chance to hear it as it should be heard, containing as it does a few moments of sheer Tubby magic, including Unit Dub, a pure and simple drum and bass outing with the bassline mixed up front and twisted through filters while a shrilly splitting hi-hat is left to steer the riddim. Definitely in the top ten of all Tubby dub mixes.’

Can’t bubble, can’t cook, can’t even dress properly.

Exclusive mixes of key versions in the TS mission so far, dub-plate style.

Tough, thumping Jammys from 1989, with expert falsetto singing from CT.

Lovely trodding-on steppers.

What a record. The studio debut of the mighty Daddy U-Roy in 1969, sparring with Val Bennett over Old Fashioned Way, both of them wigging out like a couple of beboppers, with the ghost of John Holt on the backing tape. “The studio is kinda cloudy,” reports U-Roy — and everyone sounds lit but utterly inspired. Pure vibes.
“My first tune I ever do was Dynamic Fashion Way with Keith Hudson, and then I do Earth’s Rightful Ruler for Scratch. Those tunes didn’t get very far, them sell a couple hundred.”
Cornerstone stuff. Show some respect and chuck your bootleg.

Brilliant, heavyweight, daft-as-a-brush Niney. Genius.
