There should be people who use the old original vinylDubCollect albums and spend huge sums of money on individual works at auctions. Linval Thompsons & The Revolutionaries "Boss Man's Dub" (Hot Milk) must have been such an expensive album, because when it saw the light of day in 1979 it was only given a minimal edition white label pre-release. A collector's item par excellence, henceforth “The Lost 1979 Dub Album ”. Now it is, quite mundane, available as a CD release and offers 11 productions from the pen of Linval Thompson, whose singing can be heard sporadically on some tracks. It was produced in 1979, probably at the same time as “Negrea Love Dub"And" Outlaw Dub". Like this one became “Boss Man's Dub“Recorded in Channel One Studio, but unlike the previous ones, it is not clear where and by whom the album was mixed. Musically it is of course, unsurprisingly, very close to the two sister albums. Of the Dub-Mix is absolutely classic, not an outstanding masterpiece, the originator of which has to be found out. However, the excellent liner notes by David Katz should be emphasized, who not only tries (but in vain) to shed light on the history of the album's creation, but also the genesis of the in his text en passant Dub and the biography of Linval Thompson for the best. Respect.
My verdict: A classical, rare album from 1979. Sounds similar to “Negrea Love Dub"And" Outlaw Dub". It's okay, but not worth the foot. The liner notes are brilliant.
