[povilasbacevicius]

oh fuck this shit is off the hook

[Terrra91]

Carlton Barrett really went for it on this one with dat drummin.

[soundz57]

I think it's actually Lloyd "Tin Leg" Adams on drums on this...

[OneHadASorrow]

The best dub record ever.

Whilst i'm on here...i heard a track, many many years ago, with the lyrics 'sun come up, earth gets hot, earth like a melting pot' with the most killer bassline...does anyone know who the track is by? It's been bugging me for aaaages...i've tried googling the lyrics but keep getting the bob n marcia track. i'd be v grateful for any help! cheers.

[Therealanimale]

@OneHadASorrow Agreed. Bought the Augustus Pablo CD early 90's, was mesmerized with this dub immediately. Not often heard such a great dub since.

[soundz57]

The tune you mean is "Melting Pot" by Dillinger, on the "Stalag 17" ridim...

[OneHadASorrow]

:) thank you...THANK YOU!!!!!! You've no idea how much it's been bugging me...:) Now it's been finally added to my youtube collection. Thanks man! :) D

[moondogg43]

Awesome...one of my fav reggae/dub tracks of alll time....

[zenfreestyler]

This is by FAR has got to be AP's finest track he's ever done! Seriously it's probably the most dynamic, unique dub reggae song of all time damn it! The modulation, reverb, all the sound effects, just the mecca of all reggae tunes, 5/5 Peace.

[JLMarlow]

Big tune :)

[OneHadASorrow]

I bought this on 45, waay back when. It was an awesome track back then, and still sounds amazing now.

[panniculus]

Boss Tune loved by John Peel...R.I.P..remember listening to a whole show in the late 70's mainly made up of Punk and Indie, and just when you had given up 'thinking he ain't gonna drop no Reggae this week' he would put a killer tune on like this one;;;thanks for the memories Man...

[jsesstein]

your so right.. he always came through but made ya wait :) and the tunes were always big :)

[Bolly558]

The Greatest dub track ever, period. Emperor Rosko and Anne Nightingale introduced me to this amazing track on the early Radio One. Also good old Barry Curtis on various West Midlands stations.... From a reggae and ska loving white guy.

[nab1232]

crucial drum part

[jahdanza]

1 the best ever, them kettle drums are KILLER! I used to put this on my dad system when he went out & right before the drums i'd turn his system up full whack lol

[ibecool4you]

One of the best Dubs ever IMHO love the vocal version by Jacob Miller too! Peace

[agdf81]

Miami vice soundtrack coolrunnin from 1984

[pimpedvw]

" we talkin about 250 k's of some majestic blow and take us back to fun city"

[agdf81]

[funkamentalist]

If GOD had an Ipod King Tubby and Augustus would be in his number 1 playlist.........

[fivegomadindorset]

purchased a copy of this long playing record in the bronx in 1978 or was it 80? anyway damn fine recording - never far from my grammaphone.

[tonsils77]

Less is more...... musical murderation, one of the best 3 musical minutes of your life.....

[jltardiff]

Pablo/Swaby was possibly the biggest influence in Reggae and only hard core folks even know who he was. A damn shame. The great ones are taken soooooo soon.

[chicagostyleasshole]

even when i dont listen to this for a while...i could still hear rythms in my head...imagine if tubby was still around?

[RAVERBASHER420]

[MustafaShabazzShukri]

[ajaben]

I just gave this cd to my daughter for chanukkah. She's eleven and loves drums. Classic.

[xwsftassell]

What's a cd?

[ajaben]

sorry, I meant "record".

[xwsftassell]

true. great song, too. the drumming sure is airtight!

[lincolnmarkv]

Jacob Miller R.I.P

The Best.

[simonbnyc]

One of the 5 most astonishing songs I ever heard in my life. Island released a 12" version in 1977 where the grooves were so wide that bass would kill at 10 paces! Extraordinary!

[xwsftassell]

Just out of interest, what are the other 4?

[woolters]

Yeeeeheeeee!

Someone please pull the plug of my PC, because I can't stop listening!

why doesn't Youtube have a [repeat] function?

[GerardoZang]

king tubby chi-do manO

[pauladaly]

granada tv current affairs intro circa `78... whats new it was called tony wilson again.. grim up north ? ha

[leroyrelaxx]

one off the most beautifull songs

[antihate9876]

A very important track in the history of dub. Equally great: Augustus Pablo and Errol Thompsons' versions of this killer tune.

[CornishGoof]

All hail King Tubby

[mistaben2k]

This is too damn good to have been a bigger hit,so stayed underground for a select few.

[jambrgway]

wadada wha tune...........reminds me of ma dada~

[TitanSound]

Thanks for this....wicked tune! I have a version without the vocals but I prefer this one!

[dcuellitar5]

i love this man !!! great song ...

Blessed for the post!

[MainStMafia]

Classic

[sprokwarble]

PRAISE THE KING!!!!!!!!!

[rk246]

this is in grand theft auto on the reggae station

[Timbarwell]

great video King Tubs the man

[jonezydread]

Fair play! There are no reasons why there should be a vid, the idea of a record spinning sounds good--The music really does speak volumes & IS one of the best examples on Utube! (Plus dont think they had invented the VHS when King Tubby was singing this!) Ive no video recorder either, but when I do get 1 there will be no stopping me.....!!!

[leeHendy]

no biggie -- I just liked how oldwah was making video recordings of the records spinning to accompany the track on his youtube posts. This is the best song available on YouTube! I love this post. Thank you.

[Ivanthegamer]

Class man class.

[Rootslove]

Jakob an' Tubby... r.i.p.

nuff respect till to the end of my time !

JAHlove.

[leeHendy]

[moonuni]

[trunkwaffle]

One of the all time greatest records - nuff said

[iamthepig]

Find it hard to find good reggae tunes on YT. Anyone have His Imperial Majesty by Mickey Dread or Three Piece Suit by Trinity or Clint Eastwood tunes?
