Negrea Love Dub

By the end of the 1970s Linval Thompson had cut out a successful dual career for himself as both singer and producer. Naturally he moved in the dub field as well, getting further use out of rhythms he used in his other works. Dub had begun strictly as an album format with limited pressing runs for scene insiders, but it had swiftly gained the interest of the rank and file reggae buffs.'Negrea Love Dub', originally released in 1978, is a cornerstone in the reggae dub scene. Linval Thompson produced riddims which were laid at Channel One studio by The Revolutionaries - at the time a celebrated studio band led by drum and bass partners Sly Dunbar & Robbie Shakespear - and mixed at King Tubby's renown studio at 18 Dromilly Avenue in Kingston by Prince Jammy.The sound of the ten dubs featured here is hypnotic and it's effects are euphoric to say the least.TracklistinA1.
