The second of two LP volumes drawing on three stone-classic Blood & Fire compilations: Dub Gone Crazy, Dub Gone 2 Crazy, and Dub Like Dirt. A truly monumental selection of mind-bending mixes by King Tubby, Prince Jammy, Pat Kelly, Phillip Smart, and Scientist. The flip-sides of killer 45s by Johnny Clarke, Cornell Campbell, Delroy Wilson, Horace Andy, Leroy Smart — banger after banger, including nuff anthems — and specials from deep inside Bunny Lee’s archives. Indispensable.

Crucial Tubbys dubplate pressure.

Super-heavyweight Aggrovators roots. Barry Brown at his very best; deadly, sombre horns; lethal Tubbys dub. Scorcher.

Inspired singing, feel-the-vibes deejaying, and awesome Scientist/Tubbys mixes via Channel One in 1980.
Jeesus Chroyss, we noice.

Typically fine singing, over crisp, bare Tubbys digi, with strong backing vocals on both sides.
Hey Mr. Cop is a draft of the song he recorded for Bunny Lee, over Rumours; the flip does over his Jammys smash.
Dubplate action.

Roots anthem, produced by Tubby for Bunny Lee.

Ace early Tubbys digi — stripped and moody — with fine, amusing vocals.

Hymning the power of reggae, over a re-licked, surging Conquering Lion, with worrisome Tubbys bass. The dub is here.

Monumental Tubbys digi terror. Tougher than Lee Van Cleef. Heavier than lead and cold as ice.

Staggering, stone-classic roots, originally released on Family Man’s handsome imprint in 1972.
Bunny Wailer on percussion; Dirty Harry on fife. Awesome Tubbys dub.
Knockout.

Magnificent, militant roots.
Tell them, King Tubby.

Heavyweight killer Late Night Blues excursion, with King Tubby.

Tough, dismissive, soundboy digi. A King Tubby dubplate from 1986.

The great singer addressing false authority, apartheid and the squandering of black lives. The rhythm is Tubby’s ace, ominous, digi re-working of Yabby You’s Conquering Lion.
