Although producer Errol Thompson was not a dub maestro on the same skill level as Augustus Pablo or, heaven knows, the great King Tubby, he did create a number of highly influential dub sides in collaboration with Joe Gibbs and his studio band, the Professionals. About 50 of these tracks were collected and released on a series of four albums in the late '70s; titled African Dub All-Mighty Chapters 1-4, the LPs were tremendously influential and helped introduce dub reggae to a young audience prepared by punk rock to be receptive to new, slightly anarchic and politically marginal sounds. The African Dub All-Mighty albums were originally released on Gibbs' Rocky One label and have been next to impossible to find for years. Now the label has been revived as Joe Gibbs Music, and catalog titles are being reissued, many in extended formats. This CD brings together the first two African Dub All-Mighty LPs, which are, frankly, the more pedestrian of the four. Many of the dub versions featured here sound like little more than slightly altered instrumental tracks; rarely are any snatches of vocal left in the mix, and the overall sound is rather tame, although the performances by the Professionals are consistently solid. Dedicated dub fans will definitely want to own this disc, but those looking for a more exciting introduction to the genre will want to start with the second in the series, which features the more interesting Chapters 3 & 4.
