Dread A Dub

Johnny Clarke is one of the great vocalists that ruled the Jamaican Dancehall scene from the mid 1970s to the early 1980s. While Bob Marley was out conquering the world, Dennis Brown, Gregory Issacs and Johnny Clarke were winning the hearts of the Jamaican people . Another phenomenon that was happening in the early 1970s, was the version cuts to vocal tracks. This is when the tunes were cut back to the bass and drums and the vocals were dropped in and out in a dubbed style, and reverb and echo and various effects were added to these tracks. Producer Bunny Lee lead this style working closely with King Tubby and all of his singles from then on would carry a Dub cut on its flipside. As Johnny Clarke was one of Bunnys main singers at the time, we would hear a great selection of popular songs getting the dub treatment and in many cases the single was purchased for its more exciting dub cut. We have compiled some of the best of these dubs from the time and put them together for this release, hope you enjoy the great voice of Johnny Clarke alongside the productions of Bunny Lee and the creative genius of King Tubby, a great combination we hope you will agree.Tracklisting Track 1 NONE SHALL ESCAPE THE DUBMENT, Track 2 MOVING OUT OF DUMBNESS , Track 3 DREAD A DUB, Track 4 RASTA DUB, Track 5 AFRICAN DUB, Track 6 WANTY WANTY GET A DUB, Track 7 SATTA DUB, Track 8 ROOTS NATTY DUB, Track 9 DUNZA DUB, Track 10 LEGALISE DUB Track 11 DREADLOCKS DUB, Track 12 JAH JAH IN DUB, Track 13 NATTY
