The cornerstone of the album consists of dub versions of 4 little-known Derrick Morgan tracks, “Teach My Daughter”, “Rasta Nah Fear”, “Under Heavy Manners” and “Pick Sense Out Of Nonsense”, plus his duet with Johnny Clarke on “Behold”. Livening up the mix are dubs to a brace of Ronnie Davis tunes (“Good News” and “That’s Life”) along with versions of “Oh Jah Forgive Me” and “One And Only Lover” from Cornell Campbell (who also plays bass on “Under Heavy Manners”). The set is rounded out with versions of tracks by Jackie Edwards, Johnny Clarke, John Holt and Joy White. Whilst the album concentrates heavily on the 1975 ‘flying cymbal’ style of Carlton ‘Santa’ Davis there is also one track from 1974 (“Golden Rule Dub”) plus a handful from the years 1976 to 1978, the highlight of which must be the instrumental workout “Going Home Dub” featuring blistering solos from Tommy McCook and Vin Gordon. Although some of the later tracks bear some of the characteristics more readily associated with Channel 1 Bunny Lee has confirmed that all were mixed at King Tubby’s.
The album was released initially only in this limited edition vinyl format and as an MP3 download. Due to public demand we have since made it available for download in the lossless FLAC format and finally, completing the set, it is also released on CD. The CD, MP3 and FLAC formats all contain 3 bonus tracks not included on the vinyl issue.
Copies of the limited edition vinyl are still available but the stock will not last forever. So order now to ensure you get your hands on a certified limited edition first press copy. First press copies bear the inscription “First Press – 1000 Copies” on the rear sleeve. The album is available now for immediate despatch.
