Prince Far I - Megabit 25, 1922 Dub

Post by Rootsman »

Hi,

Can someone tell me if this album is worth picking up.

http://www.roots-archives.com/release/2899

I have the Cry Tuff Dubs 1-3
Dub to Africa
Cry Freedom Dub

Is this one in a similar vein ?

Also any reasoning behind the title ?

Thanks

Respect

Dave

This Lp is a Roy Cousins production using Roy Cousins Riddims.
Fari I only appears at the beginning of the tunes.
Not sure that he effectively releases this one !!

Not so spectacular and crucial as self productions by himself.

But this is only my opinion.

Respect

It's not bad, but not spectacular either.

It's on the Tamoko Wambesi label I believe. There is something haunting about this LP. If I remember right it was a posthumous release.

The Spear of the Nation set with the Roots Radics is by far a better release.

Greetings

Prince Far I was murdered long before this CD was released. There a only a few samples of Far I´s voice. A few Riddims are out of "Spear Of Nation / Umkhunto We Sizwe". IMO this is a bogus.

its ok, but many o the riddim are clearly stolen, i feel, from Kingdom records' scientist version albums, eg peoples choice, kingdom of dub, etc. cant think why cousins needs to steal his version
