About this product
Vinyl LP pressing. The fourth and final volume in the African Dub All-Mighty series was originally released in 1979, and like the previous three discs it features rhythm tracks laid down by such famous session men as Sly Dunbar, Robbie Shakespeare, Lloyd Parks, and Franklin InchBubblersInch Waul, most of whom were already known as members of the Revolutionaries and the We the People band, but who recorded at Joe Gibbs' studio as the Professionals. Errol Thompson ran the board for all four collections of dub mixes, and while this fourth installment isn't quite as inspired as the third, it's also a bit more interesting and adventurous than the first. Some of these mixes are two or three times removed from the vocal tracks that were originally released - InchIron Gate,Inch for example, is a dub mix of a recut (by Althea & Donna) of the Heptones' proto-slack rocksteady classic InchFattie FattieInch; InchFashion OneInch is a remix of Dennis Brown's remake of Alton Ellis' 1960s classic InchGirl I've Got a Date.Inch Everything here is worth a listen, though InchPower PackInch (based on the instrumental InchDrum SongInch by Sound Dimension) is a bit tedious and would have benefited from a more aggressive dub treatment. Recommended overall.

Joe Gibbs & the Professionals AFRICAN DUB CHAPTER 3
African dub chapter 1
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.
