Backing Band : The Revolutionaries
Recording : Channel One [Kingston, JA]
Mixing : King Tubby's [Kingston, JA]

another one chopped up by Prince Jammy at Tubby's. i tink this must be the twin sister album to leggo dub cuz it came out the same year, features many of the same heads & there's even a track called leggo beast. this set has way more bite to it & is owlviously a blatant political statement about black oppression & struggle, in dub :) the tunes carry this gravity very well, but retain the catchy buoyancy heard on leggo

i found this recording in flac format moons ago & converted it to high quality mp3 using foobar2000. the torrent file is thoughtfully included in the folder as well for yawl flac heads who aint got storage issues. it's also subtly linked in the text above for the observant :) a 320 conversion, is that the terminology? yuppers, dub week!
