Reviews
- Edited one year agoSome of the dubs are riddims mixed from:
"African Roots" aka Bammie & The Natty Locks "Jah Is Shaking In Dub"
"Crime Wave" aka Eustin Gregory "You So Real"
"Blood Of Africa" aka Sydney Smith "Jah Jah De Pan Dem"
'300 Years At The Grassroots' aka Slim Smith 'Born To Love You' - Edited 2 years agoA MILESTONE LP. ESSENTIAL in all dub lovers collections.
A real beauty of funky off-beat drumming , powerful bass and dynamic mixing by King Tubby infused with beautifull &v uplifting, yet dread riddims. A super-roots lp without doubt.
These tracks don't sound like Lee Perry mixes in anyway (because they weren't) , though they were certainly recorded at the Black Ark.
This is the best of the 3 lps by Winston Edwards at the time, but Natty Roots & Surrounded by Dreads (which has some vocal/dj cuts ) are also Superb LPS as well, and recommended. - Edited 3 years ago
referencing At The Grass Roots Of Dub (LP, Album, Reissue, Remastered, 45th Anniversary) STU 16LP 001-R
My copy seems to have escaped Quality Control completely: has loud cracks on A2 and pops on B1-B2, as well as the B side label is so off center it touches the wax :)
The good portions of the disc are good tho with nice deep bass. One can dream of a more proper 180 grams release with deeper grooves, but for the price this is excellent as well. - Such a great introduction to the two rival kings of dub. The artwork is quite striking and the vinyl mixes are of high quality. Can't go wrong with this one.
- absolute KILLER dub..not only for reggae heads.......this is dark, groovy, rolling Dub of a kind.........
along in the light dub , scratch super Ape, Tubby meets rockers uptown and few others milestone of the decade - Great pressing ... but mine has B-side with crackles from start to the end... VP's pressing looks like Trojan's 90's pressings , when you buy one, you play to russian roulette !!
- The bass on my copy is overpowering, is anyone else experiencing this? Wonder how it differs from the Jamaican version and the other UK version with the plain label!
