The Upsetters - 14 Blackboard Jungle


This is it: one of the earliest and best Dub albums ever recorded!

Originally released in 1973 with only 300 copies pressed; this album went on to become the Dub album by which all others are measured against.

The musicians featured on this recording are a litany of some of the best reggae musicians at the time... Augustus Pablo on his Melodica, Bobby Ellis on trumpet, Glen Adams on the organ, Aston "Family Man" Barret on bass and his brother Carlton "Carly" Barret on drums (both of whom would become members of the Wailers), Tommy McCook (founder of the Skatalites) on the piano, Valentine "Tony" Chin guitar, the list goes on; all great muscicians who came together under the divine sympatico of Lee "SCRATCH" Perry's inspired production and Osbourne "King Tubby" Ruddock's masterful engineering.

Highly Recommended!
