│▐▌ │ ░
│ █ London based Motion Records follow up their Skatalites : ░
│ █ "Herb Dub Collie Dub" release with the re-issue of Gussie : ░
│ █ Clarke's long lost dubwise set "Black Foundation Dub" from : ░
│ █ 1978, that covers the producer's big mid-decade hits in : ░
│ █ dub fashion. David Katz (writer of "People Funny Boy: The : ░
│ █ Genius of Lee Scratch Perry") has written detailed sleeve : ░
│ █ notes, which feature an interview with Gussie, as well as : ░
│ █ a track by track analysis. His writings have been used for : ░
│ █ this review. : ░
│ █ "Black Foundation Dub" was originally released in limited : ░
│ █ numbers in Jamaica on Gussie's 'Roots Sounds' label and : ░
│ █ featured material produced by Gussie from the period : ░
│ █ 1973-78, including killer versions of many hittunes by the : ░
│ █ likes of Delroy Wilson, Gregory Isaacs, Augustus Pablo, : ░
│ █ Dennis Brown, Bob Andy, KC White and Dawn Penn. All of the : ░
│ █ tracks were mixed at dub pioneer King Tubby's Studio most : ░
│ █ by Tubby himself, the remainder by Philip Smart. For this : ░
│ █ release Gussie has added two bonus tracks (*) for the LP : ░
│ █ and a third (**) for the CD, an extended version of : ░
│ █ Augustus Pablo's classic tune No Entry. : ░
│ █ Augustus Clarke is one of a handful of committed : ░
│ █ individuals who have largely determined the state of : ░
│ █ Jamaica's contemporary music industry. Very much a : ░
│ █ behind-the-scenes figure, Gussie's input has been crucial, : ░
│ █ not only in shaping the way the music has sounded since : ░
│ █ the early 1970s, but also in facilitating the ease with : ░
│ █ which Jamaica's fiery creations can be accessed by the : ░
│ █ world at large. He has enjoyed several successful phases : ░
│ █ as a leading producer of quality material, building a : ░
│ █ catalogue that's relatively small, but marked by high : ░
│ █ standards. And he has also been involved in the : ░
│ █ distribution, importation and exportation of musical : ░
│ █ discs. He was among the first to offer CD manufacturing in : ░
│ █ Jamaica and presently presides over the largest recording : ░
│ █ complex on the Island. : ░
│ █ This album blasts off with the title track Black : ░
│ █ Foundation, a bass-heavy dub of Delroy Wilson's moving : ░
│ █ take on the soul classic "Is It Because I'm Black?", with : ░
│ █ an emphasis here on bright horn blasts, rippling organ : ░
│ █ riffs and snatches of eerie synth noise. Gussie's version : ░
│ █ of Dawn Penn's "You Don't Love Me" (also based on an : ░
│ █ American hit), which he called No No No was voiced in 1973 : ░
│ █ by KC White. This dub has been mixed with contemporary : ░
│ █ embellishments that highlight its solid drum-pattern. The : ░
│ █ modest, yet wonderful Free Zone, a bass-heavy number : ░
│ █ punctuated by a subtle triangle, was issued as an : ░
│ █ instrumental called "Schenectady's Shack". Big Or Small is : ░
│ █ a swinging horn mix of Delroy Wilson's take on the rousing : ░
│ █ soul number "All In This Thing Together", here presented : ░
│ █ to also emphasise the floor toms, electric piano, wooden : ░
│ █ fish and other melodic elements, plus a brilliant : ░
│ █ saxophone break. Creation Dub is a stripped-down mix of KC : ░
│ █ White's take on the Temptations' classic hit "Born To Love : ░
│ █ You", here led by a tinkling xylophone. : ░
│ █ Missing from the original pressing, but now fully restored : ░
│ █ by Gussie, is Rockers Time, a chugging, upfront synth-led : ░
│ █ rockers' cut of Gregory Isaacs' faithful take on Bob : ░
│ █ Andy's versioned Studio One classic "My Time". The Dennis : ░
│ █ Brown tune Funning Feelings is then dubbed to expose the : ░
│ █ rockers' beat at its core. Dipping back a few years : ░
│ █ earlier, Murderer is a minimal cut of the Skylarking : ░
│ █ riddim, as featured on Big Youth's "Screaming Target" LP, : ░
│ █ mixed here to place emphasis on a deep bass, electric : ░
│ █ piano, with rim-shot beats given plenty of EQ and a : ░
│ █ ghostly triangle or bell ringing throughout. Late Arrival : ░
│ █ is a synth cut of another Bob Andy song called "I'm Going : ░
│ █ Home", punctuated by a wood block and choral voices; while : ░
│ █ Rocking Vibration is an exquisite drum-and-bass workout : ░
│ █ with some extra-fine wah-wah guitar. One Way is a : ░
│ █ xylophone cut of Augustus Pablo's majestic "No Entry", the : ░
│ █ same riddim that was used for Delroy Williams' stunning : ░
│ █ "Think Twice" - the dub here makes good use of : ░
│ █ Nyabinghi-styled conga beats and a percussive wooden : ░
│ █ grater. Absent from the original issue, but once again : ░
│ █ restored by Gussie, is a dub of Gregory Isaacs' well-known : ░
│ █ take on Dobby Dobson's "Loving Pauper", here presented as : ░
│ █ a slow drum, bass and organ skank, with snatches of a : ░
│ █ choral vocal in the mix. The disc closes with the : ░
│ █ aforementioned extended dub mix of Augustus Pablo's No : ░
│ █ Entry. : ░
│ █ Essential stuff for reggae fans! : ░
