The British
Motion
label is gradually assuming a place second only to the mighty
Blood & Fire
in the
roots reggae
and
dub
reissue marketplace. The latest in its ongoing series of crucial
reggae
reissues is a collection of classic
Niney the Observer
rhythms originally produced by
Errol Thompson
Phillip Smart
(except for two
Cimarrons
tracks, both produced by
Syd Bucknor
), all of them dubbed up in classic style by
King Tubby
. Except for the
selections, all of the instrumental tracks are played by the redoubtable
Soul Syndicate
band, which at the time was anchored by bassist
George "Fully" Fullwood
and drummer
Carlton "Santa" Davis
.
Davis
had mastered the "flying cymbal" drum style that had recently become popular and that can be heard on so many singles of the time, as well as many of the tracks on this album.
Sledgehammer Dub
includes purely instrumental
versions of classic songs by
the Heptones
(
"Why Must I"
) and
Dennis Brown
"Voice of My Father"
), among others; the CD version's four bonus tracks include a haunting
cut of
Big Youth
's
"4 Dead 19 Gone a Jail."
No
fanatic should pass this one up. ~ Rick Anderson
