Description
“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 Jammy. Originally released in 1980 on the mighty Trojan Records, “Black Ash Dub” is today widely heralded as one of the finest dub collections of the era and considered an essential addition to the collections of all serious fans of the genre.
