Atom / Dub Store Records JPN 1974

Very rare rocksteady rhythm pulled by Keith Hudson to record this bold vocal by Johnny Clarke in 1974. On B-side a deejay cut by Randy’s Clive Chin.
Augustus Pablo - Stabiliser (Single Take) / Alton Ellis - All We Need Is Love

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.
Keith Hudson - Satan Side / Earl Flute, Horace Andy - Peter & Judas
Mafia / Dub Store Records JPN 1972
¥1480 (US$9.53)
Versions, dubwise, horn riffs and what not – all of those creative elements made this great tune and it was only Keith Hudson who had an ability to make it all possible. Even if you’re no an ordinary reggae listener you should try this. Apart from Hudson, at this time in Jamaica there was a number of eccentric producers like Lee Perry, Pablo, Niney and co who used their studio like an instrument to create their own sounds.
Linval Thompson - Whom Shall I Fear (Extended) / Fyah Ina Babylon; Dub Ina Babylon
Strong Like Sampson / Ark UK 197-
¥2880 (US$18.55)
Earl Flute - The Betrayer / Chuckles - The Betrayer (Instrumental)
Mafia / Dub Store Records JPN 1973
¥1480 (US$9.53)
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.
