About this product
Limited edition of 750 individually numbered copies on orange coloured 180-gram audiophile vinyl. Founded in 1971, Matumbi was among the earliest and best British reggae bands. They did, however, also record under different guises, including 4th Street Orchestra. In their acclaimed Rough Guide to Reggae, Steve Barrow and Peter Dalton rate this album (and it's counterpart Ah Who She? Go Deh!) as 'the best showcases for Matumbi's talents'. This marks the first LP reissue of this genuine UK roots monument since 1976. Original member Dennis InchBlackbeardInch Bovell (of LKJ and Dub Band fame) knew the local sound system scene like the back of his hand, and most tracks on Leggo! Ah-Fi-We-Dis were initially cut as exclusive 'specials' for his own Jah Sufferer sound system and for fellow soundmen. Hardly anyone hearing these tunes at reggae parties would have guessed they didn't originate in Kingston but were recorded in London. And neither did many who bought the records when they were released a few years later. That's hardly surprising, as the material Bovell & Co churned out could easily compete with the toughest output

Limited edition of 750 numbered copies on orange coloured 180-gram audiophile vinyl. By 1967, the Jamaican music industry in the UK was flourishing, it's success primarily due to the efforts of a number of talented British-based singers, songwriters and producers, among them being the young multi-talented music maker Robert Thompson a.k.a. Dandy. Thompson's popularity on the UK Jamaican music scene resulted in the of his popular debut album 'Rock Steady With Dandy'. This record contains one of the biggest rocksteady hits ever made InchPeople Do Rock SteadyInch also known as InchLet's Do Rock SteadyInch, and was first released in October 1967 as the flip side to his single InchWe Are Still RudeInch.
Limited edition of 1000 numbered copies on orange coloured 180-gram audiophile vinyl. Revolution Dub is a studio album by Jamaican's legendary dub producer Lee Perry and his studio band the Upsetters, and was originally released in 1975. The album, which features nine pared-down dubs, was the last in a line of releases that year in which Perry began exploring the possible studio techniques at his recently opened studio Black Ark in Kingston, Jamaica. In addition to making early use of a drum machine, the album is characterised by unpredictable drops in the beat, drastic stereo panning and samples of dialogue from television series, particularly British sitcoms, while Perry sings on the album in an eccentric falsetto and portrays different personas, including television characters from Kojak and Doctor on the Go. Critics and authors have described Revolution Dub as one of Perry's most important and exemplary albums, although some consider it one of his more overlooked productions. The use of sampled television dialogue has been highlighted by several writers as innovative for predating the sampler and for it's unusual context, while the album was later influential on artists including Stevie Wonder and Holger Czukay.
