    A brilliant, classic, essential roots LP, full of thought provoking protest songs. It's still so, so relevant in today's troubled times. It's hard to pick a favourite, but, I always, always look forward to the opening chords of "Downpressor man" and play it as loud as my system will allow, be it indoors, car or portable sound system. I really looked forward to the newly remastered double LP, just for the "Dub" versions so that I could mix and extend "Downpressor man" and all of the other masterpieces on this LP. To say I was a bit disappointed with the "Dubs" is a massive understatement. I was expecting King Tubby, Scientist or Prince Jammy style dubs, instead I got what I can only describe as "Minimal", "Stripped Down" mixes that didn't resemble any of the classic dub techniques that this LP warrants. These mixes were done in a "Minimal, stripped down, German techno" style. Not happy. I hope that one of the Dub-Masters, Lee Perry, Scientist, Jammy, Mad Professor gets a whiff of my discontent and puts this classic LP through the mixing desk dub shredder and delivers the classic that is quite obviously waiting to be delivered. I can only live in hope because I haven't got the "Know-how", but rest assured, if I did, I would sort it out tomorrow.
