Joe Gibbs - African Dub Chapter Two - VINYL LP

The second volume in this vintage four-disc series of instrumental dub from Joe Gibbs' studio finds him still working with members of the Soul Syndicate and We the People bands, and utilizing the formidable mixing talents of Errol Thompson. What sets this volume somewhat apart from the other three is the number of rhythms it carries over from the rocksteady era InchChapter TwoInch is a remix of the Techniques' late-'60s classic InchQueen MajestyInch; InchPeeping TomInch reworks the Melodians' InchYou Have Caught MeInch; and InchMy Best DubInch is an instrumental and nicely dubbed-up recut of the early Wailers track InchHypocrites.Inch But it also includes some heavyweight rockers and one-drop material, including InchAngola CrisisInch (based on a familiar rhythm later used for such roots reggae hits as InchUptown Top RankingInch and InchThree Piece SuitInch) and an absolutely brilliant dub mix of Bob Andy's InchChained,Inch here rendered in dark, minimalist tones with drastic dubwise effects and retitled InchThird World.Inch Along with the third volume, this is one of the most impressive of the four discs in the African Dub series.
