View Full Version : Calling FK...
Let me ask you. Based on my studies of you, it's apparent that you were/are highly influenced by the dub catalog.
Remember this? It's been licensed into the Trojan catalog. This is a corner stone piece.

Hello TAC, Greetings from gum-free Singapore.
Good looking out! ... but that record sounds like it was waaaay before my time period, and completely unfamiliar.
And that great acapella bit in the middle!
'Dub Time' starts around 1972 for me. And I have so much more to learn in that genre, and pretty clueless when
it comes to the 68 ~ 72 Ska/Rocksteady into Regggae transition period, not to say anything of before that.
Here are some of the things that make me salivate....

Another great reggae blog to read (http://rootsculturereggae.blogspot.com/) with tons of album covers:(in Portuguese)

When in need, I always read this Michael Veal book (http://www.amazon.com/Dub-Soundscapes-Shattered-Jamaican-Culture/dp/0819565725) again as well.

Hello TAC, Greetings from gum-free Singapore.
Wicked.... I was in Singapore (on business), a little while ago. Excellent place. And yes, domestic laws are grossly stringent. :biggrin:
P.S.: Chicks are easy, but a tad bit Conservative! :wink:

As of late, I seem to have been naturally getting drawn towards that Rockers/Pablo 'mystical' sound.
Like Pablo's "Nature Dub" (from Original Rockers)
Here's a random bunch of songs I have been getting into recently, or that's just been resurfacing into playlists:
Johnny Clarke "Fittest Of The Fittest" (version)
Augustus Pablo "Unfinished Melody"/"Melody Dub"
Jah Stitch "Natty Dread Gone Clear"
Charlie Morrison "Selasie Memorial"
Jacob Miller "Tenement Yard" (Dupblate mix)
Prophets "Words Of The Prophet" (dub)
Cornell Campbell "Hae You Change Your Mind" (version)
Wackie's Rhythm Force "Addis Abbaba Dub"
Keith Hudson "Play It Cool" (dub) / "Formula Dub"
Augustus Pablo "Eastman Sound" (pt3) which is really just a different version of:
Hugh Mundell "Africa Must Be Free"/"Africa Dub" (by 1983)
Aswad "Dub Charge" (Radikal Roots re-edit)
Jennifer Lara "Woman Of The Ghetto" / "Ghetto Dub"
Boy Blue "Long Time I No Smoke" (Scientist Dub)
Niney The Observer "555 Crown Street" / "Warrior Lotion"
Jackie Mittoo "Wall Street"
Wayne Wade "King Tubby's Special" (Yabby You version)
Scientist "Taxi To Baltimore"
Lee 'Scratch' Perry "City Too Hot"
Zap Pow "Last War"
Augustus Pablo & The Aggrovators "More Warning"
...Conquering Lion!!

I'd love to see that documentary in it's entirety with Prince Jammys as he was known back then & Johnny Clark. That was my era for reggae music.
