Dazzlingly brilliant, pioneering dub from 1975, laden with genius, fresh air, good humour, and strangeness.
Woman’s Dub is astounding, still — a dub of Jimmy Riley doing Bobby Womack’s Woman’s Gotta Have It. ‘She’s gotta know she’s not walking on shaky ground,’ run the lyrics — amidst an awesome musical evocation of the far end of the Richter scale.
Hotly recommended here at HJ for decades.
The Dennis Bovell / Matumbi dub set from 1976.
‘The peak of the era’s UK roots dub. For dubbing at its wildest, check out Za-lon and its version Halfway To Za-lon’ (Steve Barker, The Wire).
A mostly instrumental set recorded at Treasure Isle, but released on the Canadian label Lanarc in 1969 (and tough to find till now).
Orange vinyl.
