JOE GIBBS & THE PROFESSIONALS - African Dub Chapter 1 (Reissue) JOE GIBBS & THE PROFESSIONALS

LP - Black Vinyl

Producer Joe Gibbs took the credit for the four discs released in the mid-70s under the title African Dub All-Mighty, but the musicians were in reality a shifting aggregation of members of the Soul Syndicate, We the People, and Revolutionaries bands, and the man actually working the mixing board was famed sound engineer Errol Thompson.

Chapter 1 is a fine listening experience -- note in particular "Campus Rock" (a dub version of Dennis Brown's "Let Me Live") and "Treasure Dub," which is a version of the Jamaicans' rocksteady classic "Ba Ba Boom." - Rick Anderson
