Description
Recorded and mixed at Duke Reids storied Treasure Isle studio by Dukes nephew, young engineer Errol Brown, Dub Expression collects dubbed up treatments of seminal rockers rhythms crafted for Marcia Griffiths, John Holt, Dennis Brown and more.
Propelled by the drums of Lowell Sly Dunbar, the appropriately named Revolutionaries (with their tough and radical sound) were the ideal group to reflect a turbulent period in Jamaican politics. While the bands personnel remained fluiddepending on which players were available and frequently overlapping with other seminal sessions bands such as Joe Gibbs The Professionals and Bunny Striker Lees The AggrovatorsThe Revolutionaries were most known as Channel Ones house band in the mid to late 70s.
The decision to top-bill The Revolutionaries, rather than feature an individual artist as was customary at the time, was made by Kingstons most celebrated female producer, Sonia Pottinger who shrewdly determined that The Revolutionaries name alone would be a cant miss selling point. One only needs to spend a minute with Dub Expression to hear why.
Originally released in 1978 on Pottingers High Note label, Dub Expression represents the essence of dub in its purest form. An absolute classic. Liner notes by JR Gonne.
