Unknown Artist - Rocks & Mountains / Dub
Channel One / Digikiller / Deeper Knowledge US
N/A
While never officially released, this tune was made famous thru play on UK sound systems. And while the vocalists of this tune have long been rumored to be the Mighty Travellers, who self-produced some tunes and cut an LP for Jammy's, no one has been able to definitively confirm this. More likely is that the tune is by the Majesterians, who cut "Youthman" for Sly & Robbie around the same time, as the lead voice sounds almost identical. This recording has been sourced straight from a mastertape containing dubplate mixes of other released and more well known Sly & Robbie productions from the early 1980's, but which bore no notation of "Rocks and Mountains" presence at all. So decades later, the mystery endures, but the music finally comes into the light and speaks for itself.
