Greetings,

Someone please identify a tune which i believe to be by Rod Taylor.Its a dub tune.Mikey dread has it as "Resignation Dub".The voice says somthing like "..black history.".

Which album do we find it?

Love

There is a 'Black History' by Hopeton Lindo .. a DATC production and the same riddim as Rod Taylor's 'His Imperial Majesty' could that be it?

Both were repressed on 7" recently, on LP, you can find it on Ethiopian Kings compilation on Patate.

Thanks for ur response.

I have Ethiopian Kings.At first i thought the dub was for 'His Imperial Majesty' but later realised it was not.It should be that Hopeton Lindo tune.Would you know the name of the dub on the flip?

"Black History" can also be found on **["Rockers Vibration"](http://www.roots-archives.com/release/1 ... ight=23159)**
Scorcher of a track.

Rod taylor also recorded the song Black History

Available on this album

[cover=2526,2908]

imo this is the best Rod Taylor album around.

7" b-side is **["Recollection Rock"](http://www.soundsoftheuniverse.com/releases/?id=12458)**

"produced by the dread at the controls, the late mikey dread with the dub mixed by king jammy.clean and loud pressing!!"

This might be interest to you as well;

"Recollection Rock!" thanks 6anbatte.You just provided every info i was looking for.I searched that song on this site but nothing showed up.

Love.

Hi Kandi

Pleased to have been able to help you.

Hi Kandi

Picked up both of those 7s yesterday, which I must admit I did initially think was a bit foolish as I've had "Rockers Vibration" since it came out and also have it on CD.

Got home and listened to "Recollection Rock" and can see why you were interested in it. Excellent dub.

Then put on "Dread All The Way", the flip to "His Imperial Majesty" assuming it would be similar to "Recollection...".
What a track!!!! Absolutely, wall-shakingly, brilliant. Incredible. A total must-have!!!! Spun it 5 or 6 times!

I would love to see that one reissued Rootsman.
