Scientist – Scientist Rids The World Of The Evil Curse Of The Vampires

One of the illest dub sessions ever created, must listen for I and I

Scientist Rids The World Of The Evil Curse Of Junjo Lawes is certainly one of the best records of all time.

There's a lot of naivety about the real owner of these lps, with many claiming Scientis is being ripped off by Greensleeves.

it is not his music- it is the producers.
Scientist was paid a flat fee to MIX the track made by the Roots Radics.

Mixers almost NEVER have any further rights to the music released.It is not theirs unless they paid for the sessions and are also the producer themselves.

The only REAL debate here is if he should get a percentage for using his name in the marketing of the music.
As he no longer is mentioned he doesn't. That is the business and the facts.

The name the lps are now under (JUNJO L/ INVAL) are in many ways a more appropriate title (tho I personally prefer Scientist being the Star of them) , Even to use the Roots Radics as the STARS of these lps would be appropriate, because its their tunes on them (though some tracks are 're-cuts' of others tunes), however they are still OWNED by the producer.

I hope that helps clear up any misunderstanding.

Same matrix stamper than the 81 press, same deadwax. Great sounding reissue !

This OG pressing definitely sounds much clearer & punchy than UK press.

There's not much wrong with the UK cut but... this one just sounds better. Can't quite explain why but it absolutely smashes it.

Epic album at correct Price, just picked up for 25 euros. Clean and powerfull pressing

This album will go down in history as one of the greatest DUB LP's to ever be released. What a production Scientist, The Roots Radics Band, & Henry Junjo Lawes! This album was a huge influence on my DUB love from the very start. Also what a blessing to hear the whole album on GTA 3; K-Jah with Horace "The Pacifist" Walsh ;)

Dice Lloyd Bradley en "Bass Culture" que esta serie de discos de Scientist (las de los "cómics" por llamarla de alguna forma) llaman la atención por sus icónicas portadas más que por una genuina innovación en los derroteros del dub. Y algo de razón tiene en que no es una vuelta de tuerca a lo que su mentor, King Tubby, venía haciendo desde mediado de los setenta ni mucho menos se acercan a la genialidad (y locura) del mismísimo The Upsetter, Lee Perry (¿alguna vez alguien lo ha hecho?). Pero esto no es razón para quitarle mérito esta serie incontestable ya que si algo hizo Scientist fue perfeccionar el sonido, los efectos y la técnica de grabación del dub y hacerlo sonar con una precisión, profundidad y fidelidad que cuesta pensar que se grabó hace más de 40 años atrás. Y eso es razón suficiente para instalarlo como uno de los grandes nombres del Dub.

A barcode in 1981 on a cassette ? I can't believe it, Greensleeves released cassette with bar-code around 1987
