hello all
so i picked up this EXCELLENT album called dub fi junjo a few months ago. it was produced by bravo and is on the tabou 1 label out of france.
i tried to find out more about tabou 1 and basically their website, if i in fact found the right one, sucks. i have no idea who bravo is.
it turns out michael rose and the wailers both have albums on this label. but that is all i could find out.
dub fi junjo is one of my favorite albums in my collection.
anyone know of bravo or the record label in general?
thanks
peace!

Hi
The only two I know by tabou 1 are U brow / Hit Sounds from channel one (wich is a compilation of tracks produced by U brown by 79-80 with many other artists, weather baloon and tings like dat) and Back to roots / Gladiators wich is a gem released on 1982 at channel one too, all killer with 4 bonus tracks recorded live.
Both with good liner notes...
On cover U can find it bjkl@club-internet.fr and www.tabou1.com
That's all I know. Hope it may help you.

Tabou 1 released The Abyssinians´ "Satta Dub". A Crucial collection even if sound quality is nuff improvable. At least dem nuh be wrong wid de "speed" as Heartbeat ina "Declaration Of Dub".


BLESS

Tabou 1 also re-released the gladiators' album "back to my roots", U Roy's "Now", Black Uhuru 's live 84 and many other things ... The owner of this label is actually on this board and posted a message on the Power House topic (guillaume bougard) so I guess he has more informations ...

i think tabou also released a michael rose album called "x uhuru", which came after rose left black uhuru. sly and robbie play on the album. i didn't like the sound of this album though, too modern.

thanks for teh info
i guess i will try to do more internet searches on tabou. i highly suggest dub fi junjo for quality dubs, a great album all in all.
