Black Ark Players - Black Ark In Dub DOUBLE CD
SKU: VP2703
Description:
"Black Ark In Dub" is another piece of Lee "Scratch" Perry’s
limitless musical puzzle. Originally released in 1980 as 10-track
album the hard to find "Black Ark In Dub" remains a frozen sonic
timepiece, captured at the beginning of the end of one era and
poised at the start of another. This re-mastered 2CD release adds
Lackley Castell "Jah Love Is Sweeter" (vocal cut to the opening
track "Jah") plus a bedrock of deep rhythms recorded at the Black
Ark studio just before its demise, including bass heavy and spooky
dub deconstructions of "Ethiopia", "Lion A De Winner", "Open The
Gate", "Guideline" and "Mr Money Man", along with an embellished
dub version of Ras Keatus "I Dreadlocks I" and the much sought
after "Guidance", a longime Jah Shaka killer exclusive to this set.
The second disc is "Black Ark Vol. 2", the follow up album to the
acclaimed "Black Ark In Dub" that unsurprisingly for an Upsetter
release took a different path. More vocal oriented the album
features extended dubwise cuts of "Ethiopia" by Carol Cole (aka
Aisha Morrision), Junior Byles' "Mumbling & Grumbling" and The
Inamans "How Deep Is your Love", along with The Originals "Got To
Be Irie", and an alternate take of the Silvertones roots classic
"Give Thanks" with flute overdub and a couple of solid covers from
Third World lead vocalist Bunny Rugs. This set is a crucial release
for the fans of Lee Perry's Black Ark universe with the musicians
of the Black Ark Players (aka The Upsetters) and all the real
aficionados of Dub Reggae out there. It will be released in a
6-panel digipak with additional 12-page booklet including
linernotes by David Katz.
