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!
