I’d second that in fact among the finest recorded would do as well.

It’s a bit of a grey day today but The Rails are brightening things up! Fine song craftsmanship from Walbourne & Thompson.

All this talk of The Royal Scam has prompted me to get out this hot-cut early US vinyl press, which is fast and aggressive, just the way I like it…

I bought this months ago, forgot that I had it. Time to give it a listen now. Hopefully it’'s better than the dreadful Etta James one!

Based on the number of times I have played it, this will definitely be on my ‘albums of the year’ list. Brilliant album

Upsetter 14 Dub Blackboard Jungle

Originally released 1973 in JA only on a couple of hundred pressings.
Subsequently numerously and unofficially re issued with a completely different track listing as Blackboard Jungle Dub.
2004 Auralux officially licenced the album in its correct original form from LSP albeit with a different sleeve on double vinyl.

Some claim this to be the first ever Dub album proper but that’s very contentious, this is though more or less where Scratch started his excursion into the Dub Cosmos and beyond at his newly built Black Ark studio.

A brilliant early classic of the genre illustrating the emerging idiosyncratic genius of Lee Lee Scratch Perry

Local bluegrass band (Raleigh, NC). Album of covers, including John Lennon’s ‘Watching The Wheels’, so a nice variety.
