Roots Radics
Dub Catalogue V.1
Michael Campbell started out as an engineer with the Jamaica Broadcasting Corporation and made reggae history presenting his 'Dread At The Controls' radio program, after which he embarked on a successful career as an innovative performing artist, producer and bona fide dubmaster. As such, he was among the first to utilize the talented Roots Radics to lay the foundations of his tracks. Much less relying on endlessly recycled riddims from the Studio One and Treasure Isle catalogues than many of his peers, Campbell mostly delivered crisp, original tunes. They were `deconstructed' at King Tubby's studio - the birthplace of dub - in this case by virtuoso Scientist with Mikey himself. This catalogue includes the majestic 'Two Track Dub', a version of the Roots & Culture riddim, and 'Demo Dub', as featured on the B-side of The Clash' 'Hitsville UK'. Comes on 180 gram vinyl.
