'X-Ray Music' is a directory-style sampler from Blood and Fire, the Manchester label whose reissues restored 1970s Jamaican dub and roots reggae to print. Its selections showcase the mixing-board artistry of King Tubby's generation, with tracks drawn from the label's catalogue of Bunny Lee and Yabby You productions.
