Pleasure Dub is a great record from '76,
but it's
Tommy McCook's
Supersonics
band and not
The Revolutionaries
(originally under
Errol Brown's name).
That makes it a
Treasure Isle studio band
and not a
Channel One one. If you want
the best of both worlds, I would suggest
the following incredible dub album.
This is actually
The Revolutionaries,
doing a dub version of the majority of
the best reggae album ever released
from the
Virgin Front Line -
The Mighty Diamonds'
Right Time.
Also, it features
Tommy McCook -
playing in the
Channel One studios,
so you get, as I said, both worlds.
Sly Dunbar and
Ansel Collins
also do more than just show up!
