Interpretations of the Soul Vendors’ Swing Easy on melodica and clavinet; plus a dub, and a toast by Dillinger. Hot stuff is right.
A baker’s dozen of rare or unreleased dub instrumentals by Augustus Pablo at the height of his powers, mixed at King Tubbys.
First the set of Prince Philip dubplates from Digikiller, stateside; now this from Only Roots in France.
Biff!... Baff!
Knockout stuff.
King Tubby meets the Roots Radics.
Outstanding Tubbys.
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.’
Dense dubs of the Pablo scorcher No Entry.
Heavy heavy heavy.
