Augustus Pablo - Stabiliser (Single Take) / Alton Ellis - All We Need Is Love
Stamma / Dub Store Records JPN 1974
¥1480 (US$13.93)
The true genius Keith Hudson introduced highly mutational sounds and sound effects at the time and this Pablo organ cut of “Peter & Judas” is no exception. Slightly different cut to the one included in “Flesh of My Skin Blood of My Blood” known as the monumental and arguably the first reggae concept album that is rated as important as “Blackboard Jungle Dub” in dub music. This cut is the fat original take mixed prior to the LP.
Earl Flute - The Betrayer / Chuckles - The Betrayer (Instrumental)
Mafia / Dub Store Records JPN 1973
¥1480 (US$13.93)
Out of all those China lead Soul Syndicate vocals this one has to be the tightest although here the rare flute instrumental is the business. At the time Keith Hudson had the original JA funk sounds going on in his rhythms.
Al Brown, Seventh Extension Band - Proverb / Version
Pressure Sounds UK / Zodiac 197-
¥2180 (US$20.52)
Leslie Butler & Count Ossie - Gay Drums / Ken Boothe - Lady With The Starlight
Gay Feet / Dub Store Records JPN 1967
¥1580 (US$14.87)
One of the most remarkable sessions from Sonia Pottinger by matchmaking two of the musical greats to work on an experimental nyabinghi jazz. Backed with a Ken Boothe vocal that surely needs no introduction.

Techniques / Dub Store Records JPN 1981

Fabian Cooke - Mother Child (Original Stamper) (Press noise) / (Part 2)
Studio One 1979
¥850 (US$8.00)
Mojo Blue - Fight The Rasses / Rasses In Dub
Uprising / Deeper Knowledge US 197-
¥1180 (US$11.11)
More deeply rare roots from the mid '70s, this is the deejay version to Fulk (Livingston) Reid's "Golden Daffodils", by Mojo Blue aka Jah Mojo. The full deejay piece was never released and only played on dubplate (until now!), while the dub to the deejay version was paired with the "Golden Daffodils" vocal on the original Wildflower 7", and there mistakenly credited to Brigadier Jerry.
Wailers - Guided Missile / Work
Fam's / Dub Store Records JPN 1975
¥1480 (US$13.93)
Jackie Mittoo’s all time classic interpreted deadly by Familyman, backed with the one off style instrumental accompanied by astonishingly cool chant.It would never be possible to mass-produce this kind of highly creative and artistic piece by mainstream producers. This would only have happened by the world’s top class band that they are.
Maria Anderson - Cottage By The Sea Side / Woman In Love
Cobra / Dub Store Records JPN 1975
¥1480 (US$13.93)
Beautifully shinning golden female Lover's Rock.At this time, the Wailers band didn't play much of those sweet love songs, however this 7” definitely proves Familyman’s versatile musical orientation. A truly tight rhythm section beautifully blends with this rather unknown singer’s superb voice making these nothing but a masterpiece. A heart calming double-sider.
Wailers - Battering Down Sentence / Version
Solomonic / Dub Store Records JPN 1974
¥1280 (US$12.05)
One of the many spiritual and cultural classic lyrics that Bunny Wailer has written, and this is an exclusive single take. The lyrics - written soon after he was arrested due to the possession of Marijuana, can be heard as “Fight Against Conviction” on one of the most important roots reggae album to date, Blackheart Man, although this recording is an early take released in 1974 by the Wailers.
Wailers - Dream Land / Dubd Version
Solomonic / Dub Store Records JPN 1976
¥1280 (US$12.05)
In 1966, Bunny Wailer started singing spiritual lyrics before anyone else, and this masterpiece he sung about returning to Africa was written while he was still recording for Studio One. Although it was originally recorded for Studio One, it has never seen the day of light. Then Lee Perry recorded it again and released in 1971. This particular take was recorded especially for the album in 1976 and released from Island Records UK as a single.
Everton Dacres - Jah Jah Ah Come / Jah Jah Dub
LTD / Deeper Knowledge / Digikiller US 1977
¥1180 (US$11.11)
This tune needs little introduction, monster roots from 1977. Everton Dacres, cousin to Barrington Levy and member of the Mighty Multitudes group along with Barrington, cut only a few tunes as a solo artist and this is one of them. Produced by Lloyd 'Charmers' Tyrell, issued on his LTD label.
Lee Perry, Upsetters - Lama Lava Mix 1 / Lama Lava Mix 2
Pressure Sounds UK / Upsetter 1975
¥2180 (US$20.52)
Jewels - Slave Trade / Dub
Leggo Sounds / Digikiller / Deeper Knowledge US 1979
¥1180 (US$11.11)
Slave Trade" and "Love and Livity" were both originally released on Jamaican seven-inch, on Leggo's Cash & Carry label, and distributed from his former Orange St. record shop of the same name. Both tunes stand near the top of the heap for hard roots harmony, no small feat.
Wailers - Pass It On / Trod On
Solomonic / Dub Store Records JPN 1978
¥1480 (US$13.93)
A radically different take to one of the standout tracks on 'Burnin' the final Wailers album to feature the original line up of Bob, Peter & Bunny. The lyrics are profound without a hint of pretension "Be not selfish in your doing…" and the rhythm runs at a sprightlier pace than the album version. A third version exists with Bob Marley taking the opening verse but this is surely the definitive cut of a truly classic song. "Live for yourself you will live in vain…"
Wailers - Life Line / Big Youth - Black On Black
Solomonic / Dub Store Records JPN 1976
B: Bide Up
¥1480 (US$13.93)
'Life Line' a gentle, haunting love song showcasing Bunny's sublime vocals over a subtle, restrained rhythm encapsulates in just over two minutes more than many lesser artists manage to express over an entire double album. Big Youth’s plea for tolerance and understanding, one of his two essential cuts of Bunny’s 'Bide Up', was originally released as a double sided single and is one of the hardest to find records on the Solomonic label.
