Search - Various Artists :: Gg's All Stars: Roots Man Dub (Ocrd)

In the dance music world, the term "dub" is used to describe a remix where the mixing engineer takes the role of the artist. He emphasizes different vocal and musical elements by selectively dropping those elements in and out of the mix and by adding effects to the isolated tracks. Less widely known is the fact that these engineering techniques were developed and perfected in Jamaica during the early '70s and throughout the decade. This two disc set is centered around the Roots Man Dub album, originally released in 1978 on GG's Records Hit label. The set is enhanced by Alvin Ranglin-produced dub sides from the Maytones, the Starlights, and Al Brown, plus an entire album of previously unreleased dub selections. Remastered from the original tapes.
