Carlton Barrett & Family Man - The Sound Of Macka Dub Vol. 1
Got the Clocktower LP 197x re-release simply called
Macka Dub on the label imprint.
On this album you can hear a group of elder experienced musicians like the Barrett brothers themselves, The Mighty Sparrow (on drums too), Glen Adams on keyboards. They created some of the finest pure no-nonsense dub reggae. Effectively and inuberantly (who knows what that word means?) mixed by Phillip Smart & produced by Brad Osbourne, the producer with his as I would describe it dark wooden sound.
And the label Clocktower, !!!!!, the first Clocktower LP I bought (Black Board jungle Dub I guess) was a true experience for me. What a heavy warm sound it had and the artwork, the green or fire coloured label with the Big Ben on it. That was something really special and it all made sense. Like so many other wicked reggae record labels too, like f.e. the imprint and artwork from Natty Dread On the North Coast album with the mosquito label imprint (Jungle Beat). That kind of album and label art is so genuine and rootsy that I cherish it longtime.
The album presented here is a repress and the old Big Ben imprint is replaced by simple black on white letters. Seems to be bootlegged too these reissues but as long as the sound is OK and the price too it's good that good records like this get reissued anyhow.
