Dub music as we know it starts here. Before 1973 in Jamaica, there were instrumental takes of songs and vocal - less acetates for sound systems. But nothing had the radical mixing and psychedelic soundscapes that define dub. By the end of 1973, albums like Lee Perry's 'Rhythm Shower' and 'Upsetters 14 Dub', Herman Chin - Loy's 'Aquarius Dub', and Prince Buster's 'The Message Dubwise' emerged, showing dub's unique take on instrumentals. However, 'Java Java Java Java' might have been the first to break new ground. Producer Clive Chin says there was no other album like it when it came out. Without a doubt, 'Java' is one of the foundations of dub music. It features key members of The Impact All - Stars, including Earl 'Chinna' Smith, Fully Fullwood, Augustus Pablo, Winston Wright, and Tommy McCook. Clive Chin produced it with Errol Thompson on the board. This is a black vinyl pressing from the 17 North Parade label in 2011. Reviewed by monk in 08/2005.
To use this vinyl LP, first, make sure your record player is clean and in good working condition. Gently place the LP on the turntable and use the tonearm to lower the needle onto the groove at the start of the record. Enjoy the amazing dub music. When you're done, carefully lift the tonearm and return it to its rest position. Then, remove the LP from the turntable. To keep your vinyl in great shape, always handle it by the edges to avoid fingerprints and scratches. Store it in a cool, dry place, standing upright in a record sleeve. If it gets dirty, you can use a record cleaning brush to gently remove dust and debris.
