Hi Matthew

This may help - http://www.roots-archives.com/forum/rea ... #msg-19037

Nice...thanks 6anbatte!

No probs, Matthew. Best I put it on and give it a spin!

Hahaaa...right on!!!
I believe one cut on there is the version to Al Campbell's/Diamonds?

Hi Matthew

"Roots Man Dub" by the looks of it. Off the top of my head I don't think I have Al Campbell's/Diamonds so can't confirm that.

Yep Roots man Dub is a dub to A Campbell "Diamonds" rhythm. There are no vocal snipet. This Diamond rhythm was used several times by Linval Thompson.

There are 5 cuts to this riddim (included the "Roots Man Dub") on this comp:

One of my fav > Dawn & Christine "Holy Mount Zion". Unfortunatly the Trojan comp only play the first minute of the dub. The full discomix was released on Burning Sds 12" with a dub on the flip (the dub is differet to "Roots Man Dub").

Hi Wareika

Thanks for the heads-up. Funnily enough I have that comp, but haven't had a chance to play it much. I'll dig it out tonight.

Hi Wareika

Played this briefly at lunchtime. Excellent stuff. Isn't "Shockin' Rock" the dub cut to "Holy Mount Zion"?

6anbatte: Thanks for giving it a listen!
wareika: Thank you for the info/cross reference!


Rockers From Channel One is definitely on I playlist for today.
