Prince Jammy & The Aggrovators
Dubbing In The Front Yard & Conflict Dub (2lp)
'BUNNY LEE PRESENTS...' - Bunny Lee as producer. Prince Jammy as engineer. The Aggrovators making the tracks. A Holy Trinity of Jamaican Music. In 1977 and 1982 respectively, 'Conflict Dub' and 'Dubbing In The Front Yard' were released in London as white labels in extremely limited quantities. The two LPs found the triumvirate of Lee, Jammy and The Aggrovators on perfect form, with driving instrumentals, flashes of vocal beauty, and mixes that ripped apart and rebuilt traditional notions of sonic structure. Due to the nature of their limited release (not to mention the lack of artwork and even titles) the two dub LPs quickly disappeared into that mythic realm of records whispered about by only the most hardcore reggae collectors. This release is the first-ever reissue of these sought after LPs, and contains all the original songs. The sleeve notes are by Diggory Kenrick with amazing photos by Howard Johnson, director of the influential Channel 4 documentary 'Deep Roots Music'.
