:.: Notes And Comments About The Release :.:
';: ........................................... :;`
' `
Mikey Dread (born: Michael Campbell) came to the attention of
Jamaican music fans with his roots reggae radio program from the
late '70s. Moving beyond his popular island broadcast, Campbell
also produced his own rockers-style releases like 1979's Dread at
the Controls (also the name of his radio show). And while this
album and a handful more did provide some exposure beyond his
radio audience, it was the release of Campbell's excellent dub
titles like African Anthem that would garner a heap of attention,
particularly resonating with English punks and groups like the
Clash (Campbell would make a sizable contribution to the band's
1980 album Sandinista). The appeal is not hard to understand since
African Anthem features a sophisticated and entertaining program
of rock-solid tracks and stunning dub effects (bird and goat noises,
police sirens, cuckoo clocks, and all manner of studio-generated
sounds); it's the kind of dizzying mix also heard on Joe Gibbs &
Errol Thompson's similarly disposed African Dub All-Mighty titles
and on the best work by the Scientist. In fact, Campbell enlists
the Scientist for this recording, along with dub giants like King
Tubby and Prince Jammy. The disc additionally benefits from plenty
of Campbell's own engaging radio banter and the stellar contributions
of reggae studio luminaries like drummer Sly Dunbar, bassist Robbie
Shakespeare, guitarist Earl "Chinna" Smith, and keyboard player
Augustus Pablo, among others. A great dub album, ranking up there
with milestones such as Lee Perry's Blackboard Jungle Dub and King
Tubby & Prince Jammy's Dub Gone 2 Crazy. ù Stephen Cook
