THIS ALBUM IS SO OLD , I WAS A YOUNG MAN WHEN THIS WIKID ALBUM DROPPED,.. . I AM 60 years old now , and this album STILL " CRISS " , WE USED TO PLAY THIS UNTIL WE KNEW EVERY ( single ) note and ' phrase ',... a religious expression in music ?? .. my days in LONDON ( BRIXTON MARKET) pre 1980 ,... I have lived in America for 40years and I have DONE so much to ( educate) America about " Dub " ,.. I converted many many people...
King Tubby's "old boys" fighting for his crown. Built mostly on the great Barrington Levy's vocal cuts, this is a fight to the finish between the Scientist and Prince Jammy. The damage was mostly done in the first half. In my opinion Scientist scored big in Round 1 (not the least for using King Tubby's trademark sonic boom at 2:55), then in Round 3 (a very wicked riddim if any). Prince Jammy unleashed a vicious but rather short lived upper cut in Round 4 (the deadly 'Skylarking' riddim). The Scientist would have none of it and bounced back in Round 5 with the massive 'Don't fuss nor fight' riddim. The Scientist then took Round 7 aided by Barrington Levy's saucy one-liner: "you hunting, you hunting, make sure you bathe inna de fountain," while Prince Jammy took Round 8. My verdict: 1) The Scientist took this one on points. 2) The "show promoter", ace producer, the late Henry "Junjo" Lawes must have smiled all the way to the bank although he slightly favoured the Scientist who is a specialist in dubbing the great Barrington Levy. 4) This is a massive, 'must have' dub album for serious lovers of roots dub.
been jamming to scientist since GTA3 days, im glad i discovered the game as I am a true fan til this day. It made me listen to king tubby, prince jammy, mad professor and many other veterans of the game. bless!
My first time listing to Scientist I was a teenager about 15 to 16 in my birth place which is ST.THOMAS U.S. Virgin Island. I must say because of him I enjoyed listing to music without the words. I remember this being on the first album that I listen to this is bring back memories. Great meditation riddims JAH BLESS.
All my years as a musician and listeing to music.Scientist had given me that extra focus,so i could become a better musician.I think he is the best all times today i am working on my album and i took a few pages out of his book, just to put some life into my music,Thank Jah for having a person like Scientist in our life God blessed.
+Oral Bras Yes! So true. Couldn`t agree more!! I make I-pad reggae riddims and been playing drums in many reggae bands since -95 and Scientist give me that extra insight on every instrument.Respect Master mixman!!!
Nah. This is one of his better showings, but whenever I listen to a Scientist/Jammy split LP and my ears really perk up during a mix, it's always one of Jammy's. Jammy absorbed more of Tubby's musicality in his approach. But it's a matter of taste, of course.
The first dub album I ever bought. Punk and The Clash got me into reggae and dub, I love music in general but there's music then there's sweet reggae music!
I am an original dub man from Tubbys/ Jammys and Scientist days late 70s but the late great John Peel (RIP) got me into the Clash, U2, Simple minds, Sioux and the Banshees, etc. Crazy innit.
I was 17 and finished my Saturday shift at my local butchers, shot off to 'Sounds around 'knowing full well Mick would have a few diamonds for me to flick through and the obvious Pearl's on Greensleevs. I ress me case!
well bob marleys crowds were mainly white and he was disappointed in that, he wanted a black crowd.. i suppose at the time more white people had the money for tickets, radios and records, times have changed the other way. More black african people can now hear reggae music than before to be honest. And asians, before it was exclusively in europe and the carribean where it was on the radio
@@EddyChapman-nc6qf Exclusively? Funny thing is that since Bob Marley, most of asia enjoy his music and many others. I can recall one movie that had a Roots Radics song in the middle of it from the 80s, Violent Cop by Takeshi Kitano. Ska and Reggae have big communities over in Japan, so it will never die out as long as new people enjoy it.
The credits given for tunes by RU-vid make no sense. Every tunes has different artist. Listed are artists called, " *Barrington Levy, Dave Robinson, Roots Radics, and finally someone by the name Version* " ✨🤪🤓😝😅🤣😂🤪🤓✨
Booi me too I started listening dub in the 80s I was allways fasinated with the remixes n version then came BlackUhuru wt Sly n Robbie then Roots Radics Gregory Isaacs The Yelowman eara
@@DonTheking. Maybe. We probably won’t know it anyway, but Scientist said that he mixed all those tracks by himself, and that Jammy didn’t do shit but got all the shine. However, I like them both. They’re both Dub legends and pioneers, and it’s sad to hear that they don’t really like each other.
@@DonTheking, Yeah man, it’s here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yBoMpLQV2Ug.html Long ass interview, but very interesting. I don’t remember the timecode where he said that Jammy didn’t mix the songs, but it was in that interview surely.
Get this album if you can on Jah Guidance DSR 0312 those pressings are superior in playback fidelity, also it’s the original JA mix. Some other reissues, and one off pressings have a different mix and edits don’t have the punch 🤜 you need for a soundsystem style. Enjoy 😉
After meditating and listening to the History in the Sound, it thence force you to say something that's in your Hearth. Either: Love, Testimonies, Praises to Jah...etc. lol bad or good intensions etc. Bless up Sela
What is it about turning up the Treble 1 minute 20 in the track, And should you sprinkle the treble 3 times in a 3:30 minute dub ,I Know I know These are Hard questions.....Relax......Now where's my liter….
I got this record it’s a real collectors item. Beware of trying to sell this at a vinyl shop they’ll rip you off if it’s in good condition and should be up to close to 50 bucks.
Although it wasn't till the '3rd release ' of the 6 ( 1981s '...Meets The Space Invaders) that you could definitely say "This IS a Scientist lp" Though Roots Radics & producers 'roots' Scott & L.Thompson were a vital part..
Maybe put just link to -for example- Mixcloud. Or ask one of the many that seem to get around the infringement proces how . Or to do a project_episode with one of them together. Just a quick thought. I am not of great knowledge on these issues here. It's the hole "live&direct" that is problem for most. I do not see the difference in copywright before and after a show has been live. 🤔....probably al boils down to money for solving some things these days.
I bouh mine well worth my nick his we had duel guess who won taken account he had a set of 18 but I had 4 15 fanes the wasn't complaining but the neighbours did but Dame did the rumble
