Customer Reviews
Essential
Essential dub for any collection.
"Cloak & Dagger" and "Black Panta" are worth the price alone.
Crucial
Check it out. I've been told for years how these recordings changed the development of music in JA, but have never beem able to truly hear it before. I have 3 versions of BJD and one of RD and all sound like mush compared to this. A revelation.
* FANTASTIC !!! *
This two-disc beauty represents three Lee "Scratch" Perry LPs, "Blackboard Jungle Dub," "Revolution Dub," and "Cloak & Dagger." Perry fans know that these are some of the greatest recordings Scratch ever produced. We have listened for years to junky distorted versions of "Blackboard Jungle," and a lot of this music we haven't even heard at all. Finally we are redeemed. The quality on "Dub-Triptych" is absolutely amazing, and your old granny could tell the difference between these versions and previous releases. This stuff has not been presented properly and in its entirety since the original LPs came out, and the sound here may be even better than it was then. Don't forget, with "Blackboard Jungle" we are talking about one of the greatest, many say THE greatest, dub LPs of all time. "Blackbaord Jungle" dub represents the best Jamaican musicians, the most creative producer (Perry) and, in case I didn't mention, mixing done not only by Scratch, but also by King Tubby!
In short, this is some of the best dub and instrumental Upsetters music ever, presented with what is possibly its best sound ever, and available in its entirety for the first time in the digital era. There are even a few extra goodies thrown in to boot, and with 52 TRACKS TOTAL, this set is also a great bargain. "Dub-Triptych" is quite simply one of the best Lee "Scratch" Perry releases ever, end of story.
Purchase without hesitation, and ENJOY!
Pick this up for Blackboard Jungle Dub alone!
Dub Triptych is a 2 disc compilation of 3 early Lee Perry dub albums that have been out of proper print or never released -- Cloak & Dagger(1973), Blackboard Jungle Dub(1973) and Revolution Dub(1975).
while Cloak & Dagger slightly hints at what was to come, Blackboard Jungle Dub is full on dub: eerie sound effects, slow-fi beats and sly, brooding bass. tracks like Black Panta, Khasha Macka and Drum Rock make for a dense & ghostly atmosphere, while tracks like Elephant Rock and Kaya Skank are more up-beat and aggressive. being one of the first dub albums, it remains a concentrated record with zero filler.
Revolution Dub is slightly uneven with the first five tracks being a little more interesting than the rest. Bush Weed, an ultra slow slab of bass-heavy spookiness, is the album's best moment.
Dub Triptych also captures the developement of a movement perfectly. as you listen to both cd's in order you can hear the mixes getting denser, filling with a cerebral atmosphere. also, take note of Perry & the Upsetter's obvious influence on other groups from Bauhaus to Massive Attack to even Skinny Puppy.
definately worth it since you're getting 3 albums for roughly the price of one, and one of them being a classic.
