REVOLUTIONARIES - Kunte Kinte - reggae 7'' dubwize selection

Originally released only on a full charge channel 1 dubplate in 1976, the legendary Kunte Kinte rhythm was finally released on a heavy duty vinyl release by Pressure Sounds in 2007. Which makes more sense than wikidub's waffle at the start of the vid!

next text taken from wikipedia:
The Revolutionaries (sometimes known as "Revolutionaires") is a Jamaican reggae band.

Set up in 1975 as the house band of the Channel One Studios owned by Joseph Hoo Kim (following Skin, Flesh and Bones), The Revolutionaries with Sly Dunbar on drums and Robbie Shakespeare on bass have created the new "rockers" style that would change the whole Jamaican sound (from the roots reggae to the dub) and be imitated in all other productions. Beside Sly and Robbie, many musicians played in the band: Betram "Ranchie" McLean, Radcliffe "Dougie" Bryan on guitar, Ossie Hibbert, Errol "Tarzan" Nelson, Robert Lyn or Ansel Collins on keyboards, Uziah "Count Sticky" Thompson, Noel "Scully" Simms on percussion, Tommy McCook, Herman Marquis on saxophone, Bobby Ellis on trumpet and Vin Gordon on trombone.

The band played on numerous dub albums and recorded as a backing band for artists like B.B. Seaton, Black Uhuru, Culture, Prince Alla, Leroy Smart, Gregory Isaacs, John Holt, The Heptones, I-Roy, Tappa Zukie, Trinity, U-Brown, Errol Scorcher, Serge Gainsbourg among others.

This is one of Sly n Robbie's first releases then as a team and it really does show just how "revolutionary" their sound was compared to anything else. Already the duo were locked into each other to produced the tightest drum and bass team ever to make reggae music.

Enjoy.

suprised a youtube don like uses represses..... so thought repres was shunned apon...... can tell its a repress in the sound 2

[wikidub]

I didn't have the original and this was released recently so I uploaded it. Shunned by whom? If it's a good tune, I'll upload it - original or not. The poor sound is because it is from the mic on the camera and not direct sound. Thanks Milk.

Does anybody have ''Channel one allstars - Shaka the great''?! It's a version of this heavyweight tune. I recently seen a Dubplate of it on Ebay and when I listened to the soundclip i was blown away, it was the most brutal, millitant Dub i have possibly ever heard. I would of loved to of bought it but it was up at silly money. If I ever win the lottery I will one day own that mighty tune.
