master mix

sharp axe dub
Recorded at Channel One. Mixed at King Tubby's.

“You had the Spanglers and the Skull. The Spanglers is like from Princess Street, downtown, and the Skull them is from Southside, Tel Aviv. Them and the Spanglers used to war. I remember when I was a kid, I’d watch them come a King Tubby’s dressed slick. Those guy know how to dress! White shirt and black pants with a little bowtie.”

By the way, brothers. Please let me know if you spot any inaccuracies. Particularly any versions which may not pair up to the pressings cited. Some of the source material I'm using is dubiously compiled or wholly unannotated.
