‘12” Dub Mixes 1978 to 1984.’
Mono vinyl.
Their third LP; generally considered their best. From 1970, with the military crackdown in full swing, and Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil already in exile.
Great early-eighties Channel 1 excursion on the same version of DEB’s Revolution rhythm as Barrington Levy’s Black Rose.
Two all-time ska masterpieces: back-to-back fire.
Two jazz burners.
A shuffling, r&b version of a Lerner & Loewe tune from Brigadoon, by way of Nat King Cole.
Plus an instrumental one-away featuring Baba Brooks, Roland Alphonso and Lester Sterling. One of the reed players puts his foot in it, with a squawk, but who cares. Guess that’s why it’s previously unreleased and such a precious release now.
Two songs from the Weh Dem Fah album — Wicked Can’t Run Away and Sleng Teng excursions.
