Super Star Roots Discomix Dub (Continous Mix)

The Johnny Clarke 12" Discomixes that never actually existed.
Huh? - Simply, I've edited together Johnny Clarke tunes with Deejay and Dub versions, to create 12" Mixes that should have, but never actually did, exist.

Here is the tracklist :

1. Be Upright Natty Dread - Johnny Clarke
2. Be Upright Version - Aggrovators
3. Can't Keep A Good Man Down - Johnny Clarke
3. Can't Keep A Good Man Version
4. Poor Marcus - Johnny Clarke
5. Marcus - Tappa Zukie
6. Marcus Version (Bag A Wire) - King Tubby
7. Easy Skanking - Johnny Clarke
8. Keep On Skanking - U-Brown
9. Move Out Of Babylon - Johnny Clarke
10.Move Out Of Babylon Horns Version - Tommy McCook

12.Simmer Down No More Gun Version - Aggrovators
13.Too Much War + Dub - Johnny Clarke
14. Top Ranking - Johnny Clarke
15. Big Eel - I-Roy

A Winston Riley and Techniques label classic. This slow ponderous heavyweight rhythm somehow lends itself to more interpretations than one might imagine from a first listen to it. It's a Dancehall classic.
