| | Ossie Hibbert Leggo Dub CD Ossie Hibbert Discography of CDs
Rare dub reggae emerges from the vaults in the shape of this late-1970s set produced by one of Jamaica's lesser-known talents, Ossie Hibbert. Hibbert, who was primarily an engineer and keyboardist, favors a drum-heavy mix (courtesy of the legendary Sly Dunbar) laced with horns. He incorporates a few of the sonic eccentricities, like wailing babies and train whistles, popular with better-known figures like Lee Perry on a variety of vintage rhythms, notably Gregory Isaacs' "I'm All Right" and Dillinger's "Take a Dip." Casually elegant, Hibbert provides a naturalistic soundstage against which the ace session band the Revolutionaries skank their stuff, smooth and easy.
Personnel: Soul Syndicate, Aggrovators, Revolutionaries.
The Wire (p.68) - "[T]he propulsive skank of Sly Dunbar's drums against the tensions created by the countering percussion and horn section in full cry puts this set in the same league as the best of Joe Gibbs and The Professionals from the same era." Mojo (Publisher) (p.128) - 5 stars out of 5 - "[P]erhaps the most immediately enjoyable dub album ever." Mojo (Publisher) (p.62) - Ranked #3 in Mojo's "2005 Reggae Reissues Of The Year."

Purchase Leggo Dub CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Abyssinians Tree Of Satta CD (2003)
Leggo Dub album
$14.65 The Abyssinians cut the original version of "Satta Massa Gana" in 1969 at Clement Dodd's legendary Studio One in Kingston, Jamaica. This first "Satta" featured a lead vocal by Bernard Collins, a distinctive bassline played by Leroy Sibbles of the Heptones, and a simple but effective horn chart voiced by Headley Bennett on alto sax and Vin Gordon on trombone. The song was a big hit in the dancehalls of the day, and before long new versions and dub plates of "Satta" began to appear. In time, the "Satta" rhythm became one of the most versioned in Jamaican history, with over 450 known variations to date. Britain's fine reggae reissue label Blood and Fire has collected several of these musical offspring, along with the original Abyssinians version, in a single package that chronicles Jamaica's obsession with this timeless groove. Collins revisits "Satta" a couple of times himself, with reworked lyrics, as "Satta Me No Born Yah" and "Satta Don." U-Roy preaches Psalm 1 over the rhythm as "Blessed," while Big ...

Leggo Dub CD music
$21.35 Having crafted such a singular sound for himself both in Dire Straits and as a respected film composer, it's gratifying to hear that Mark Knopfler's consummate musicianship has only gotten better on what is only his second solo album in a career that began in the mid- '70s. For SAILING TO PHILADELPHIA, Knopfler once again looks to America for inspiration, starting with the stirring title track that draws from Thomas Pynchon's fictionalized account of English adventurers/surveyors ...

| | Culture Two Sevens Clash: 30th Anniversary Edition CD (1978) Deluxe Edition
Leggo Dub album
$15.05 One of the masterpieces of the roots era, no album better defines its time and place than Two Sevens Clash, which encompasses both the religious fervor of its day and the rich sounds of contemporary Jamaica. Avowed Rastafarians, Culture had formed in 1976, and cut two singles before beginning work on their debut album with producers the Mighty Two (aka Joe Gibbs and Errol Thompson). Their second single, "Two Sevens Clash," would title the album and provide its focal point. The song swept across the island like a wildfire, its power fed by the apocalyptic fever that held the island in its clutches throughout late 1976 and into 1977. (Rastafarians believed the apocalypse would begin when the two sevens clashed, with July 7, 1977, when the four sevens clashed, the most fearsome date of concern.) However, the song itself was fearless, celebrating the impending apocalypse, while simultaneously reminding listeners of a series of prophesies ...
