The deejay does remind of Prince Jazzbo (but with a less gruff voice).

He does say »Don't trouble **Papa Crucial**« a couple of times which leads me to think that it probably is his artist name. (But then again he speaks about _him_ and not _I_).

A mate in Japan sent me this DVD with a myriad of singles and that one was labeled Brother Roy - Different Experience...however the Brother Roy I have on the same title is totally different , hence the confusion.

I can't download this at work....is it the same riddim track that is Track 1, Side 1 of this LP?

http://www.roots-archives.com/release/1378

If so, it's a U-Brown production, and a version of Al Campbell's version of "My Whole World Is Falling Down".

I could never identify the DJ just based on the short intro to the dub, it's definitely someone who wasn't well-known when it was released back the day.

However give me a week and I will find out by asking the producer.

Yeah! It's the same song!

Who's the producer by the way? No credits on the album page.

Indeed its the same track (Crucial Dub) from that Tubby's lp http://www.roots-archives.com/release/1378
The whole track doesn't sound like a dub at all because of the dj's vocals sprinkled all over.

The Al Campbell one I have and yes you're 100% correct it's the same bassline.The flip side sounds more like a real dub as it has less of the voicing over as the dj version.

I saw U-Brown last Thursday and asked him:

He said the DJ was a youth hanging around the studio that he was "just giving a chance" but couldn't recall his name.
