Album Notes & Community Reviews

Mixed by the iconic Prince Jammy at King Tubby's legendary studio, this album serves as the deep dub companion to Horace Andy's 'In the Light' LP. The recording deconstructs the original roots reggae tracks, utilizing cavernous echoes, chaotic tape delays, and heavy emphasis on the rhythm section. It stands as an essential document of the golden era of Jamaican sound system engineering.
