Pressure Sounds continues to reissue music recorded and produced by the late Vivian Jackson, aka Yabby You aka Jesus Dread. After having released albums such as Deeper Roots (Dub Plates And Rarities 1976-1978), Deeper Roots Part 2, Beware Dub, Walls Of Jerusalem and Prophecies Of Dub, one of the best and longest-standing reissue labels around has now put out Conquering Lion (Expanded Edition).

This expanded edition features the original Conquering Lion set with the addition of a selection of dub versions done by King Tubby and Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry (Rally Dub).

‘Conquering Lion’ stands as one of the few truly essential albums of the roots era. As devotional as anything by Burning Spear, as polemical as Bob Marley, and as militant as The Mighty Diamonds, the album also communicates a haunting spiritual quality that is uniquely its own.

Amazingly, for such a coherent work, the tracks were recorded over a period of at least four years, yet come together to present a single coherent vision. The album was first issued in Jamaica by Micron, and in the UK with a different tracklisting as ‘Ram-A-Dam’ on the Lucky label in 1976. Here the album is presented for the first time in expanded form, together with its dub counterpart.
