The Legendary Skatalites- In Dub


another posting from deep in the archives comes this 2001(?) re-release of "the skatalites meet king tubby".i didnt know too much about this when i got it so here is what ministry magazine had to say about it."the audaciously funky dub album of our dreams.mad phasing drum breaks,rolling acoustic basslines,skewed to hell analogue synths,and uplifting infectious party time buisness - its all here.stone cold classic 70's dub that will ignite any party lucky enough to have it."
so there you go then.just crank this all the way to 11 and let the good times roll.so i hope you enjoy this and then leave a comment on it.thanks!
to get the link please click on the post title.cheers!or alternatively if you have had problems with rapids***e then try this link instead.

Lloyd Terrell,The Specials and friends




here is a small specials related post i hope you all enjoy.we have 'birth control' by lloyd terrell and the specials updated version 'too much too young'.then we have the original version of '96 Tears' by ? and the mysterians and a demo version recorded by the specials in 1981.and finally we have the title track from the film 'guns of navarone' followed by the skatalites version and then the live specials version we all know and love.incidentally if anyone has any info on the demo sessions that resulted in the specials version of 96 tears please get in touch via the comments section.so you know that now you have to listen,enjoy and then leave a comment.thanks!

p.s liam_ska has just informed me that the version of 96 tears is actually an early demo recorded by the fun boy 3 and not the specials.sorry for the mistake folks.i hope you enjoy it though
