  • i spin this at punk gigs .and with the punk energy of a reggae dub loving crowd it goes down bloody well

  • Especially with bags of volume!!

  • Love it, just love it!!

  • Had it when it first came out...a wicked 12" BASS shaker...It was the deepest bass around at the time...still sounds awesome today...

  • reminds of back in the day when my hair wasnt grey see that bit of poetry there !! no thank god i was around when this and lots of proper tunes were about !! not the shit my kids listen to !! got this on vinyl still somewhere what a underated band !! remember listening to this at the bristol locarno with my pringle jumper on and old school lois jumbo chords !! and my diadora elite trainers !! i thought i was the bollocks !! old school casual !! my kids laugh at the pics !! good times !!

  • dubb it dub it

  • This is exactly why I am soooooooo glad I never got rid of my vinyls!!!!!!

  • 1 wanker on here is deaf

  • CRAP

  • omg what memories this tune just sparked wickedy wicked bbrraacckka

  • yo Koamaru thanks fer sharin

    great tune, it was mixed in one set of dub in dub.com

    Respect

  • 4AD have always had the best musicians on there label, all such diverse and creative bands...still up until today.

  • i can't turn the volume up any higher :)

  • J'adore... super son ! ;)

  • What a toon!!!! Remember (vaguely) being bounced across the main feild Glastonbury 86(?) by this decidely chewy bassline............om nom nom

  • I always loved this version!! I can't count the amount of times I had to tape back together popped cassette tapes from rewinding and playing over and over again in the car. Heavy track! Need this on CD or vinyl. All the special effects just make the song even that much better. Ernest Borgnine's "You can't meet the duke. You meet him once and then your dead" and the lead singers voice is smooth like silk. Brilliant mix!!

  • Perfection.

  • Thank you sooooo much!!!! I have this on vinyl and no record player!!! I've been looking and looking!!!!! Dig it!!

  • Just adore this version ... been listening to it for longer than I care to remember ... as others have mentioned, "Looks like we're shy" is brilliant too.

  • boy, i love that so much :o)

  • well i'll be!!

    I had my ear to the ground back then and completely missed this track. When I found Jacob Miller singing it i was blown away and this is excellent in its own right.

  • this is just the best......what a rhythmn

  • Thanks for post. I remember when I couldn't get enough of them. Still have my vinyl with me.

  • I dont wanna be a hero.... all i want is the money yeahhhhhhhhh

    10 / 10

  • respect man

  • This is Brilliant!! I still have these on vinyl, and drag them out to play for kids who think music from 2000 is "innovative".

  • @w8geek Excuse me but what makes ya think your era is so much better? Less critical, enjoy life more.

  • Edit The Dragon is on their Colourbox album. It has the some crazy stereo panning on it.

  • i've been trying to get a hold of a album colour box did in the late 80's,called edit the dragon,cant find one anywhere,,any one help

  • This samples King Tubby if im not mistaken!! wow what a diverse group Martyn Young's work in This Mortal Coil is fantastic

  • I had this taped off radio but tape finished b4 i heard the artist. I spent 6 months asking round every reggae shop (remember them?), in South London, till an old guy in the corner said; "Me don't know dis vesrion, but de original is Augustus Pablo." found the Colourbox 12 inch and the Augustus Pablo it was sampled / covered from. Started a whole Augustus Pablo dub reggae thing for me that is on going.

  • Can anyone tell me the name of the other tunes by this band? PLEASE PLEASE the one with the kung fu and spaghetti western samples?

    "i dont wanna be a hero all I want is the money"

    please help I NEED to find that again !!!!!!

    love the FAT BASS

  • "Looks Like We're Shy One Horse" was the B Side of Baby I Love You So

    Vocal samples from Once Upon A Time In The West

  • "Looks like we're shy one horse" is on the other side. hope this helps

  • ...'looks like we shy one horse'. .Bubba

  • omg i ha d that 12 inches where i left/??? love that band and era too thanks for posting T-T

  • Dubtastic! I love Colourbox but I've never heard this. I'm guessing it's rare.

  • Holy Smokes! I'm looking for the white label dubstep version and I stumble upon this! I am kinda stunned that I have never heard of this until now. I am in awe of the British dub tradition.

  • only one problem, bloody youtube compression

  • classic

  • glorious music

  • tune!been searchin for this for a very long time....love jacobs original but this is how to do a cover/remix....the neighbours wont be happy!!!!...thanks...by the way nice deck...

  • I agree, FANTASTIC stuff, this is brill. Don't forget One Upon a Time in the West too! Everytime I watch that and Escape from New York I am waiting for the quotes from Colourbox songs!!

  • When I got into Colourbox I had to rent all of the movies that their samples came from...Escape from New York, 2000 Maniacs, Westworld. Awesome track!

  • I play this old vinyl 12" regularly -- kicks arse. Great base output. "One Shy Horse" is also a good fun B side.

  • Sensationally Song !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • check my channel for 'One shy Horse' sometime

  • MASSIVELY underrated band.  This song is haunting - among their best.
