Dub Along - a late 70s Black Ark selection (mix)

[BMC]

Announced some time ago, now here Straight to Sleeper's head!!



New foundation mix up for listen / download at bmc.podomatic.com , centering around producer Lee 'Scratch' Perry's later period at his Black Ark studio. A variety of tunes, dubs and styles, though all with 'that' Black Ark touch. I'm a big fan of this style and productions and therefore the mix is longer than usual, close to an hour. Not a 'best of', just a selection of Black Ark tunes I rate highly. A trip down memory-lane for some, introduction to unknown tunes for others and a combination of the two for most I guess. No full tunes as usual, shorter pieces mixed together with some sound-effects and all. Details of sources are given if you'd like to track down the tracks to hear 'm in full, sample-free and good quality. 7" tracks are mostly from CD-R copies, I wish I owned the originals of those.

Heavy like lead and redder than red, BMC. And what a way to end the mix - "Disco Devil" is mind-blowing.

Cheers swami en Mick, thanks for the comments!

Yeah Mick, Disco Devil, man how I love that 12". Big up Trojan for making it available again! Nice to hear a Perry expert like yourself enjoyed the mix too, Lieutenant.
