Conflict Dub – by who and how rare?
Just the other week a plain white label LP with the words ‘CONFLICT’ scribbled on it in biro sold for £697.77. I monitored the price during the auction and was astonished by the way the price continued to increase. I wondered why is worth so much and who would be willing to pay so much? Someone out there values it so I thought I’d better check it out just in case I was missing out on something!
I decided to do some research and come up with a hit on the dublp.roots-archives.com site. Here is an LP with the same matrix number [COLP 2006] which stated Bunny Lee was the producer. This page also included a sample from the album which is dub version of ‘Three Piece Suit’ in a style not too far from Trinity’s vocal version. After I bit more searching I came across the full album in mp3 on mediafire (a huge thanks to whoever uploaded it).
The album contains of number of standard reggae workouts with some great trumpet playing. Each track has the unmistakable drumming style of Sly and to my ears sounds like the Aggrovators. I’m sure with some from the forum all the tracks could be identified?
This leads to further questions such as, have these tracks been released before and how rare is it?
