Disco Love Dub - Joe Gibbs 12'' Dub Mixes 1978 to 1984
31-track 2CD collection of classic extended 12-inch dub mixes from the Joe Gibbsâ stable. Almost all tracks new to CD. Dub mixes of numerous classic reggae hits. Mixed by legendary dub master, Errol Thompson.
In the late 70s, the Jamaican music industry was transformed by the introduction of the 12â single; a format that not only allowed for a longer playing time, but also provided a superior audio experience, with a greater dynamic range. Of those Kingston-based producers who had sufficient funds to regularly release records on the format, none were more prolific than Joe Gibbs, whose output between 1978 and 1984 included a raft of âdisco-mixâ singles. While many of these discs coupled vocal versions with DJ cuts on the same rhythm, a number featured dub versions of the âtop-sideâ, and it is the very best of these tracks that feature on this celebration of top-quality extended dub mixes from the Joe Gibbs studio.
Mixed by Errol Thompson, a sound engineer of consummate talent, the quality of the recordings is of the highest order, with highlights including exceptional dub workings of numerous roots and dancehall classics, such as âAinât That Loving Youâ, âMoney In My Pocketâ, âLet Me Love Youâ and âBoxing Aroundâ.
With most of the recordings unavailable on any format since their original vinyl release, the collection is an essential acquisition for connoisseurs of superior dub sounds and all those that appreciate the best that classic reggae has to offer.
