ID SONG - Hearts Of Dub

Post by Rob Strictly-Rockers »

Just listening to Cultural Dub by Harry J All Stars.
http://www.roots-archives.com/release/2196

Anyone know what the original vocal cut was to Hearts of Dub. The dub cut on the album has I Roy at the end

You can hear this bit of the original lyrics:

"If you should leave me I would surely go insane
Said if you should leave me I would never love again"

It is driving me mad because it sounds so familiar but I can't place it. The album was recorded at Harry Js but this track sounds very much like a Phase One production which is possible because Roy Francis recorded at various studios.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Regards

Rob

On a second listen the DJ on Hearts of Dub could be U-Roy or I-Roy but if it is U-Roy it is definitely nothing to do with the tune "If you should leave me" on the Natty Rebel album.

Cheers

This is the start of the dub cut and there is a bit of the vocal near the end. Sounds like a Phase One production to me. Any definite ID please?

The Beltones' "No More Heartaches" is a Harry J production from 1968.
The version used on 'Cultural Dub' is that of The Cables (featuring I Roy), another Harry J production from 1977.

That LP sells very dear on eBay.

But is it so good to be worth all the money?

I've never heard it but often been outbid on it!
