'Black Foundation Dub was originally released solely in Jamaica back in 1977. The seminal album was built upon rhythms taken from a basketful of Gussie Clarke productions, all cut during the mid-'70s. These included such classics as K.C. White's "No No No," which was also versioned by Big Youth for his masterful "Screaming Target"; the DJ's equally powerful "Murderer," itself a version of Horace Andy's "Skylarking"; vocal cuts from such great artists as Delroy Wilson, Gregory Isaacs, and Dennis Brown; and a handful of scintillating instrumentals, including Augustus Pablo's "No Entry." King Tubby and Philip Smart took these ten superb songs and refashioned them into the dub masterpieces that comprised the album. Of course, all credit is due to the producer for creating these phenomenal rhythms, giving the two dub-masters a rich template on which to work their magic. And magic it is, as the men conjure up snatches of melody, vocals, and instruments, sifting them in and out of the deep, dubby beats. This reissue adds three bonus tracks, all also remixed by Tubby and Smart during this period: an extended mix of "No Entry" and a pair of Gregory Isaacs cuts, "My Time" and "Loving Pauper.' ~ Jo-Ann Greene, AMG
another grogland rupgrade with dis Motion Records 2001 re-ish of BFD, originally dropped via Gussie's Roots Sounds label in the late 70's & resurrected here with a few extra trimmings culled from various sessions recorded & produced betwixt 1973-78 tacked on fer good mezh. Tracks 6, 12, and 13 were not included on the og slab but are pretty dam essential to my ears. matter fact, any legit recording with King Tubby mixing is nothing short of inspirational & this is no mf exception. another one lost in da shuff during ze madness dat was dub week ® :) it's like burning spear says, 'hear to pick up the pieces'
