'Drum Sound' PSCD/LP 55 Released on 25/6/07
20th April 2007

'Drum Sound' More Gems from the Channel One Dub Room 1974-1980

Artist ;The Revolutionaries
Single CD
Double Vinyl album

The next release on Pressure Sounds will be on the 25th of June 2007. A dub album from Channel One called 'Drum Sound'. Mostly taken from 45s but it will also include 'Kunta Kinte' which has only evr been available before on a dub plate. Two extra versions of Kunta Kinte will also be available on a special 45.
The magical sound of Channel One became familiar to everybody through the hundreds of releases recorded at the studio. On 'Drum Sound' we have gathered some of the best of the releases on the Channel One and Hitbound labels.
16 Killa tracks beautifully repackaged and re-mastered with 2 tracks on a 45 that will not be on the album.
Probably the strongest dub album to be released on Pressure Sounds so far.

yes 6anbatte i once had this album on cassette a tremendous set of dubs including 21 gun salute to brother marcus..great dub

Hi Sean

Excellent. It really does make the walls shake!!!

Thought for a while about this - no way can I narrow it down to one!

Top 3 are probably:

Black Ark in Dub
I Wah Dub
Scientist Wins the World Cup

chased closely by Original Rockers and King Tubby Meets Rockers Uptown

the order of the first 3 would probably depend on the mood you catch me in, they are 3 very different dub albums - Black Ark haunting and dark at times very heavy in places - ideal for temple balls! I Wah Dub - uplifting and spacey - a real green dub album! World Cup - tight drum mix and killer riddims - good with anything!

I don't claim it's as good as the above, but it's definitely worth a listen:-

Sooooo hard to pick.

But if I was sentenced to life with only one Dub LP then I would have to take Leggo Dub.

On original Cash and Carry pre-release vinyl of course...

I always hedge on this kind of question, but not this time.

DUBD'SCO Vol. 1 by Bunny Wailer

The page has the date as 1978, but the label text has it as 1979. Good either way though--sentenced-to-life-with-only-one-dub-LP good!

african dub by michael rose is neat and sweet with a raw dub bassline, a very good disc with lots of vocal snips too

many out there but i really like

dub to africa - prince far I with a man called flabba on the bass

dub to africa is a fine album

MightyZ; I actually bought I Wah Dub a week ago or so. Haven't had time to listen to it yet. Top 3 huh? The expectations are high now!
