Release Notes:
This fantastic dub confrontation album was released in 1979 in a limited
edition, pitting the mixing skills of two of Jamaica's most talented
engineers against each other. The disc was produced by Ken 'Fatman'
Gordon, one of the most important sound system operators active in Britain
during the 1970s: because Fatman hailed from Waterhouse and still had
family members in the area, he enjoyed a close association with many of
the leading producers and artists that hailed from that vibrant west
Kingston slum; he was a regular visitor to King Tubby's legendary dub
studio in Waterhouse and also regularly cut special exclusive mixes of new
material at various rival studios such as Lee Perry's Black Ark, Channel
One and Joe Gibbs. As Fatman had already been releasing Prince Jammy's
early productions in Britain, and as Jammy was rapidly rising to be one of
the most respected producers and engineers of the period, it came as no
surprise that Jammy mixed the first side of this disc; side two features
the work of 'Crucial Bunny' Graham, aka 'Bunny Tom Tom,' one of the
in-house engineers at Channel One studio. Highlights of the album, which
has never been reissued and remains highly sought-after, include
thoroughly dubwise cuts of Johnnie Clarke's 'Play Fool Fe Catch Wise,'
Black Uhuru's post-rockers take of the Wailers' 'Sun Is Shining,' and
Johnny Clarke/I Roy's supreme re-working of 'Satta
