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.

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.

Crucial Tubbys dubplate pressure.
