Rastafari In Dub by the Sons Of Negus was released in Jamaica on the Top Ranking label, possibly (!) in 1978. There may have been a previous white label issue in 1972.

It’s (mainly) the dub version of the album Rastafari, by Ras Michael And The Sons Of Negus, released in 1975.

Both have been reissued on various labels over the years - see Discogs. This is (probably) the original Top Ranking issue of the Rastafari In Dub LP, uploaded in Wav format - i.e. best possible quality.

Streaming only. I think it’s magic, especially from 25 minutes 20 seconds onwards.

I don’t hold the copyright and will willingly remove this if the copyright holder objects.

There are eight tracks on the LP, and ten listed on the sleeve and label. It’s described on Discogs as ‘..a beautiful blend of roots and Nyabinghi music’ and I won’t argue with that.

The dub remix is credited to Mervyn (Mervyn Williams).

Here are the credits on the sleeve.

Bass – Robert Shakespear

Drums – Santa and Michael Richards

Wah-Wah Guitar – Peter Tosh

Lead Guitar – Earl "Chinna" Smith, Clarence Weirs

Keyboard – Bernard "Touter" Harvey, Geoffrey Chung

Funde, Repeater and Bass Drums – Sons Of Negus

Brass Section – David Madden, Glen DaCosta

Re-Mix – Mervyn

Produced by Tommy Cowan

Design [Album Design] – Errol "Irie" Myrie

Recorded at Dynamics Recording Studio, Harry “J” and Joe Gibbs Studio
