DUB GRUB


Little tune mission turned up some treats today, before bollock sized hail stones rained on the parade.
'DUB IN AFRICA' by Prince Fari and The Arabs is a mystical outing in classic dub. First pressed in 1979, the LP features such adored melodies as 'Cry Tuff + The Originals' (included in the post) and 'Big Fight Dub'. Packed with 10 heavy weight dubbed out classics it is well worth a look. This was his fifth album by the time of release, its obvious that by this period, he had his sound mastered. Its an album to be listened to on some rough duty monitors, this ain't a laptop ting. The copy I got is a repress, Pressure Sounds, to be precise. These guys are on some serious releases at the moment. Another couple by them worth looking at is 'Santic & friends. An even harder SHADE OF BLACK' (Various Artists) and 'Kool Roots' by Earth & Stone (featured in one of the mixes on here). Both 'Dub in Africa' and 'Santic & Friends' are available on itunes for anyone without a record player.

'Gathering Israel' by Jah Woosh was purchase number 2, another dubbed out, summer cotching riddim for the ear drums. Its a highly vocalised affair, with Woosh making his classic dubbed out anthem 'Walls of Babylon' the closing track.
The track featured below is not one from this album, I failed to find any, so I thought i would include another Woosh rinser 'Peace in the Ghetto'.



ENJOY
