1976 - Bullwackies All Stars - Dub Unlimited



1976 - Bullwackies All Stars - Dub Unlimited @320


Magnificent dub album out originally on the Senrab label in 1976, when Lloyd Barnes was joined at the desk spars by Prince Douglas and Jah Upton. The selection commemorates a series of brilliant sevens and twelves on labels like City Line and Wackies, and sister labels like Upton, Versatile, and Munchie Jackson's Earth imprint. Core rhythm tracks from Jamaica - Treasure Isle mostly, and then mixed by Tubby - had been worked over at the Sounds Unlimited studio on E 24th Street in Manhattan. Baba Leslie's Black Horns next piece to Wayne Jarrett's African Woman is spun out of the opening track, the Love Joys voices swirl like genies in the stunning twin mixes of Disco Reggae and the track Dub Unlimited is John Clarke's Pollution (Unlimited Dub dubs singjay coverage of the Ali-Frazier Thriller In Manilla); Bullwackies Revenge is a version of the Chin Chow rhythm, a tribute to the restaurant next door; the Chosen Brothers' Talk To The Father is represented too, the details run on and on - an all-time great dub LP!

Greensleeves Records, the renowned record label based in the United Kingdom, has joined forces with Channel One Soundsystem, known as the ‘Roots Defenders of Notting Hill Carnival’, for the project called Down In The Dub Vaults. The task of curating this collection of exceptional roots & dub treasures, which have been featured on Channel One’s meticulously handcrafted soundsystem, has been entrusted to the enigmatic selector, Mikey Dread. Jamaican and UK groups & vocalists including the Wailing Souls, Michael Prophet, Linval Thompson, Hugh Mundell, and many others are showcased on this compilation. In addition, the second disc of the collection takes listeners into the deep echo dungeon with the dub versions from well-know musicians/engineers such as Sly & Robbie, Scientist, Augustus Pablo, and The Rockers All-Stars, providing a comprehensive and immersive listening experience.
In 1979, Mikey Dread and his brother Jah T Mikey took over the Admiral Bailey sound system, subsequently rebranding it as Channel One, in homage to the renowned Jamaican studio. Since the 1980s, Mikey and his team have been a fixture at the prestigious Notting Hill Carnival, where their discerning selection of conscious music has earned Channel One a devoted following and a reputation as one of the most beloved soundsystems in the United Kingdom. Their global reach has extended beyond the confines of traditional reggae, as evidenced by their collaborations with notable artists such as Nightmares On Wax and Gilles Peterson.

Channel One is well-acquainted with the timeless classics of Greensleeves. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that they have approached Mikey to curate a collection from the extensive repertoire of Greensleeves’ classics for this exclusive compilation. It is worth noting that this marks the first instance of a UK soundsystem participating in such a project since Greensleeves Records released Jah Shaka’s The Positive Message in 2010.

Presented over two LPs, this collection features a number of classic tunes, some of which may not be as widely recognized from the Greensleeves archives. This is to be expected, as the selection is not based on a “greatest hits” approach, but rather a personal choice of sound system tunes that have held a permanent place in Channel One’s record boxes over the years.

Upon listening to Kingdom Rise Kingdom Fall by the Wailing Souls, it becomes apparent how exceptional the collaboration between Wailing Souls, Roots Radics, and Junjo Lawes truly was. The selection of two tunes by Reggae Regular is particularly noteworthy. This UK band was established in 1976 and were noticed by the then-insignificant Greensleeves label, which released two of their songs, Where Is Jah and The Black Star Liner, on the label’s first 12-inch in 1977. The impressive Black Star Liner is featured on this album, as well as Ghetto Rock, a realistic and biting tune from 1984. The late Michael Prophet’s Just Talking is described by Mikey as “Heavyweight Dub,” rendering further commentary unnecessary. Trappers by Tetrack, who recorded this “foot warmer” for Gussie Clarke in 1984, evokes a different mood.

Triston’s 1982 ganja anthem Joker Smoker, produced by Jah Thomas, is widely recognized as one of the most well-known tracks. On the other hand, Anthony Johnson’s Let Go This One, a powerful sound system classic that pushes the limits of speakers, remains relatively unknown. Hugh Mundell, under the guidance of producer Pablo, delivers an exceptional performance with Can’t Pop No Style, hailed by Mikey as an anthem for Channel One Soundsystem over the years. Linval Thompson’s mocking lovers tune One More Chance, released in 1979, showcases the superb backing provided by his favorite band, The Revolutionaries. Surprisingly, Keith Hudson’s Bloody Eyes is included in this selection. This unique lovers ballad from 1978 can also be found on his album Rasta Communication. However, it is worth noting that the version presented here is the overdubbed LP version, rather than the more raucous 12-inch version, which is somewhat unfortunate.

Then we move on to the dub section, featuring a selection which is meant to be experienced through a high-quality sound system, as they are meticulously crafted and designed to captivate your senses. Notable heavyweight highlights include the exceptional Kingdom Rise Kingdom Dub, Joker Smoker Dub, Let Go This Dub, and One More Dub, which showcase the mastery of their creators. Keith Hudson’s dub My Eyes Are Red is a prime example of his ability to create an indescribable atmosphere that must be heard to be fully appreciated. We encourage you to listen and form your own judgment. Hugh Mundell’s dub of Can’t Pop No Style is a more straightforward composition, featuring a raw drum and bass foundation complemented by ethereal keyboard accents and infused vocals from Hugh Mundell. On the other hand, Reggae Regular’s dub Ghetto Dubbing takes a more lighthearted and playful approach, while the powerful Black Star Liner dub resonates with a more militant tone.

In summary, this compilation is truly one of a kind and showcases top-notch musical talent. (Reggae Vibes)

Vibes News (Final decisions on my future posts & comments settings)


* OK firstly I want to go over a couple of things before getting down to how my posts are going to be and the settings and rules for comments * 

* There will not be any re-up of posts here on Vibes, except for the Home Made Compilations, so please don't waste your time asking. *

* All members here work hard to bring you the best files they can, so please take the time to add a few words of thanks on the posts. It means a lot more than you think. We will all reply to your comments, which is only fair. *

Comments

* The comments system will remain open for all to comment, all we ask is if you comment as anonymous then please add your name on the comment, it helps us, with deciding what to share in the future. We can get a picture of what certain people like, if you take your time to add a name. *

* Anybody who sends an anonymous comment and doesn't add a name the on the comment, it will be published on Vibes, but no one will reply to your comment. Add a name and we will answer you back and pleased to do so. *

* All comments will as always be monitored & anything we feel is unsuitable won't be published. *

My Posts Here.

* I have been thinking long and hard this week on how to manage my download links, add a password or ask you to request a download link, via comments or email have been ruled out, as is more laborious for all involved. *

* There will be at least on post per day from me, but if comments increase and are maintained at that level, then so will the number of my posts, but if increase in the number of comments drops, then so will my shares per day, back to one per day.  *

* So the option I have decided on is links with shorter life spans, and/or limits on the number of downloads or both which is my preferred option. Therefore from 20th April 2026, my links will be valid for 7 or 14 days only (depending on the format), after that, they are gone, and they won't be re upped, so don't ask. *

* I have played around with some services and I have decided on one that, that I have been using for ages, to upload and I can set the timing for the link (live span), with another as back up to that, which i can set the live of the link and the number of downloads or both. So you will need to be quick to get them. The service is quick to upload and download for you, which is good for everyone involved. * 

* I have also given some thought, to my format with shares, so I will start again to also share in Flac & wav here, but these will only be active for 7 days. The 320 shares will be active for 14 days. The majority of my posts will be mp3 @320, with the odd Flac/wav thrown in every now and then. If I share a box set it will be treated as flac and the link will last the same time period of 7 days. *

* I will always add on the post or in the comments, how long the posted link will stay active for, which is only fair. *

People Who Comment Here Using A Name.

* To the people who have commented in the past with a name on a regular basis, you are free to comment and ask for a re-up (this won't be posted on the site, you will need to add second comment, which won't be posted, with your email address, I will then email you a personal link (320 only, sorry no Flac) if the original post was Flac then you will only get a 320 copy for a re-up . *

* They are also able to request an album (320 only, sorry no Flac) they maybe missing from their collection, if we don't have a copy, I will source you a copy. This will be posted on the site, so everyone can take advantage. Please don't ask for something we have shared in the past as that is a re-up, and you will get a personal link. As these will be posted on Vibes we won't need a second comment with an email address. *

Gift To Vibes Visitors

* OK because I deleted all my links here on Vibes, as a show of good faith, I will make a post (some time today) where for one week and one week only, you may request a re-up of any one of my posts (only my posts), the links will be active only for a very short period (will decide how long when I begin adding them, 7 days sounds good for me). Maybe there will be no requests, who knows. The offer will end on Monday 27th of April, this gives you a week. We will see maybe I will make this offer again in 3 months time (and make it a regular post in the future, every 3 months, which would give new visitors a chance to get an album they have missed), we will see, that will depend on if the number comments here has risen or not, and the increase is maintained, so that is in your hands really, the more you comment the more you get. * 

* If you have any questions or wish to make a comment about this post, then please feel free. Feed back is good. *

*Reb*



RE-UP of any Reb post (limited for 7 days only)


* So here is the RE-UP post, you are free for one week only to request and new link, for anything I have shared here on Vibes. This is a offer is limited to a week, ending on Sunday 26th April 2026 @ 12 noon UK time. *

* I will send you a new link via email, so you need to add one comment say the artist and album title you would a re-up for. Add another comment with an email address (which we won't post on the site. You will only get mp3 320, if the original post was Flac or wav, then I am sorry but you will receive a 320 copy, that's the way it is. Or you can send the request via email 4vibessite(at)proton.me, exchange (at) with @ which ever is the easiest for you. *

* It's possible if comments increase on Vibes at a maintained rate, that this offer might be repeated every three months, enabling newbies to Vibes, to access some of the archive here. *

1971 - Rod Stewart - Every Picture Tells A Story




1971 - Rod Stewart - Every Picture Tells A Story @ 320



Without greatly altering his approach, Rod Stewart perfected his blend of hard rock, folk, and blues on his masterpiece, Every Picture Tells a Story. Marginally a harder-rocking album than Gasoline Alley -- the Faces blister on the Temptations cover "(I Know I'm) Losing You," and the acoustic title track goes into hyper-drive with Mick Waller's primitive drumming -- the great triumph of Every Picture Tells a Story lies in its content. Every song on the album, whether it's a cover or original, is a gem, combining to form a romantic, earthy portrait of a young man joyously celebrating his young life. Of course, "Maggie May" -- the ornate, ringing ode about a seduction from an older woman -- is the centerpiece, but each song, whether it's the devilishly witty title track or the unbearably poignant "Mandolin Wind," has the same appeal. And the covers, including definitive readings of Bob Dylan's "Tomorrow Is Such a Long Time" and Tim Hardin's "Reason to Believe," as well as a rollicking "That's All Right," are equally terrific, bringing new dimension to the songs. It's a beautiful album, one that has the timeless qualities of the best folk, yet one that rocks harder than most pop music -- few rock albums are quite this powerful or this rich.

Various - 12X12 Vol 1 (2026) 320


* After we lost Afrika Bambaataa, a few weeks ago, I posted the Time Zone EP, and I had a thought, about a compiling a compilation of 12" versions and extended tracks. 12X12 Vol 1, I threw it together one day, think if I continue with this home made comp. There will be a greater spread of genres, it was banged together with some stuff I had in the laptop at the time. So future ones would include 80's music, electronic music, reggae, soul and funk and a few more genres. As these are longer tracks, that was why I called it 12X12, they will only contain 12 tracks, which should make a comp that plays for at least 60 minutes, give or take. The tracks have been checked and like Box Of Vibes are all true 320. *
* These will be posted with a 3 month link, same as Box Of Vibes, we will see maybe I throw another together to post next week? *
