| The 'official' Studio One response to the Peckings semi-official TUFFEST release - with a slightly different track list in a slightly different order. Just Mike (listed on the label) is replaced by Adis-A-Wah-Wah, Bobby Kalphat's take on Horace Andy's Skylarking. Although the sticker on the sleeve claims that this is 'Studio One Dub', a more accurate description might be 'Studio One Instrumental Over-dubs'. Whatever, this is an excellent collection of instrumental workouts over Studio One roots rhythms, including versions of Burning Spear's He Prayed (Happy Valley), Foggy Road (High Locks) and Swell Headed (Push Pull), together with Delroy Wilson's Conquer Me (Heavy Beat) and Alton Ellis' African Descendants (Roots Man Hi-Fi) and Someone (Down Beat Special). | |
