Produced in 1981 by Junjo Lawes, backed by the Roots Radics and engineered by Scientist, and mixed at King Tubby's, this is a dream combination for rhythm lovers. It's one of the most iconic dub albums ever. Scientist delves into dark and mysterious places while chasing the vampires. Most rhythm tracks are from the Wailing Souls' classic 'Waterhouse Rock', and both albums were big - sellers on the Greensleeves label. The tracks have a complete feel and can change the mood effortlessly. My favorite is 'Capitol Offense' by Toyan on the second side, where Scientist rewinds the lyrics and boosts the bassline in a soundclash style. The album has a great cover featuring Scientist on a boat blasting rhythms at monsters. The monster theme runs throughout. I was so amazed by this record while taking a hot bath that I had to jump out and rewind. The official Greensleeves double - vinyl version includes original vocal cuts on the second LP and a large fold - out poster. Note that recent pressings credit the album to producer Junjo Lawes instead of Scientist, but the audio is the same. This black double - vinyl pressing has remastered sound, released in 1981 and re - issued by Greensleeves Records in 2016. Highly recommended.
Using this vinyl album is simple. Just place it on your turntable and gently drop the needle on the groove to start enjoying the music. When handling the vinyl, make sure your hands are clean to avoid getting fingerprints on it. Store the album in a cool, dry place to prevent warping. Keep it away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. When not in use, always put the album back in its sleeve to protect it from dust and scratches. If you notice any dust on the vinyl, use a soft, anti - static brush to clean it before playing. And don't forget to check out the fold - out poster that comes with it, it's a great addition to your music collection.
