King Tubby Meets Jacob Miller In A Tenement Yard

King Tubby Meets Jacob Miller In A Tenement Yard is one of the rarest dub albums ever to surface in Jamaica and, because of the specific ingredients of its creation, it's also one of the most unique. Pressed in minute quantities in Jamaica, in or around 1976, it is virtually unknown, because it somehow surfaced in a blank sleeve, bearing only the label of a related 12-inch single: 'City of the Weak Heart', which was released on the obscure E-E Saw label (a phonetic reference to the biblical character Esau). Produced by the Lewis Brothers (aka Fatman Riddim Section from Inner Circle), for their company ABC Productions, the album was composed of a number of Jacob Miller's most hard-hitting roots rhythms from the Tenement Yard and Killer albums. These featured synthesiser overdubs by Bernard 'Touter' Harvey, all mixed deep into the dub stratosphere by King Tubby.

Gábor Szabó - Jazz Raga

This predominantly instrumental 1966 album by Hungarian Jazz guitarist Gábor Szabó, (reputedly one of Carlos Santana's favourite guitarists) comprises 11 songs that combine Szabó's distinctive Jazz-inflected grooves along with a sitar (hence 'raga', and the inclusion of the Rolling Stones cover 'Paint it Black') dubbed over it. Bernard "pretty" Purdie (appears on countless funk/soul/groove/Jazz recordings and sampled to shit on numerous hip hop releases) on drums is reason enough to download this excellent album.
