• Tracklist

• Drum and bass reggae legends, Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespear, are the featured strongholds of The Revolutionaries, a conglomeration of many of reggae’s finest studio musicians, brought together to create some of the best dub of the late 70’s.

  “Black Ash Dub” is a wonderful example of the group at its peak. Sly’s drumming prowess is at its best on this lp, complete with his famous crash cymbals on the 4th beat in 4/4 time versus the 1st beat. His skills are legendary due in large part to the bass playing of Robbie. His grooves are intense, yet very supple, and perfectly augment Sly’s grooves.

  Each track is a tribute to a drug; the 2 major club hits are “Marijuana” and “Cocaine”.

  All cut at the legendary Channel One recording studio in Kingston and mixed by the genius touches of dub masters Scientist and Prince J
