Dread at the Controls Dub : Gussie Clarke : The Revolutionaries

This is an original LP released on Gussie label back in 1978, my CD copy by Auralux and Gussie in from 2007. This is classic roots but with very little vocal interruptions. - tracks total 10. 5 listed as side A and the second 5 as side B. Not to be confused with Mikey Dread's "Dread at the Controls". My favorite tracks on this one are : #2 (Michael Campbell Theme), #4 (Mixed Up Stuff), and #9 (Midnight Clappers). This whole set is full of nice clean solid bass with new tracks and rhythms that I've never heard. Gussie adds the triangle and various percussion instruments reminding me of the style of classic dub album, "Macca Rootsman Dub" also by The Revolutionaries. The booklet has some nice notes by David Katz on the story of Gussie and his role in the growing Jamaican reggae sound wave emanating from the island. The last couple pages of the booklet notes get in to this specific album and explains more about certain selected tracks. Overall, this is a great selection to help highlight the dubwise section, of your collection.
