Two of the finest dub collections from the early 1980s A.1 Dub & Cry Tuff Dub Chapter IV both make their CD debuts Numerous tracks unavailable for decades
Released in the UK by Trojan Records in 1980 and ’81, respectively, the Morwell Unlimited’s “A.1 Dub” and “Cry Tuff Dub Chapter IV” by veteran DJ, Prince Far I & the Arabs are among the finest examples of how those at the cutting edge of the Jamaican record scene were able to successfully apply dub techniques to the powerful new sounds of dancehall.
Surprisingly, despite the popularity of both of these widely revered long players, until this long overdue release, neither had previously been available on CD.
And to make this long overdue collection even more compelling is a bonus disc comprising a further 19 dub classics, all taken from Trojan’s short-lived Attack 12” subsidiary label.
With many of the recordings officially unavailable for decades, this 2CD set is an essential acquisition for any serious fan of deep and heavy dub sounds from the early dancehall era.
