Is this a good album? How rare is it? Any other info is appreciated! Thanks you guys!

Blessings

excellent album, seems to be somewhat rare as a quick search doesn't turn up many sources for purchasing it.

It was released some years ago and I wouldn't say it's too rare.

I have this one knocking around somewhere, its not a record i play that often, in comparison with their 12/10" releases it's no where as good (in my opinion)
Its not particularly rare (yet) so if your an iration steppas fan and into that kind of thing then its worth grabbing before prices go high like original dub dat has.

Thanks mi bruddas, i heard it was a good album from someone, and was tryin to get someother opinons since i havent heard it myself.

Is it one of those albums where its an aquired taste? Do they have their own particular style that some might find questionable?

Obviously i havent heard ANY iration steppas, haha bullits got me all wary about the album.

They do have their own style thats for sure, but then every artist and dub artist does.. id say try and find a soundclip but in this example that might be hard.

They are heavy tunes that sound best on a big soundsystem, dark and like a journey.
Their music is alike to many of the newer stepper 10s that are relased within tha last few years but as most of theirs was recorded in the 90s theres that old school feel to it.

They as a soundsystem and live band are worth seeing and you can pick up releases from them for almost nothing like i have with many of the 10" releases.

I'll see if theres somewhere you can listen..

oh and theres a soundclip on http://www.smallfish.co.uk/shop/release/?cat=DBHDS011
of locks on 10, believe the part 2 of that is marching dub which is on the flip (my preference over 'locks')

Righteous bullit mon, i appreciate it rasta!

yeah, i dont know, i might give it a second thought, seeing as how my want list is quite long and there are other albums that i know that are money all the way through...

unfortunatly i have a strict budget and like to spend it on albums that i know im going to want to keep flipping!

Its up on ebay at the moment and it isnt at a high price, some of the iration steppas releases are pretty hard to get ahold of, so if it is going for cheap it'd be worth getting it *sooner* rather then **later**

im for sure finding this one to listen to tomorrow..
