Dennis Brown - Repatriation

Joe Gibbs

Wicked tune from Dennis Brown, originally out in 1978 on his Visions LP, and backed with the great 'Jubilation Dub' which features on the African Dub Joe Gibbs LP -

Now finally served up on a 7" cut, with the vocal on top - and the dub on the flip.
The vocal is great, as you'd expect from D. Brown - top delivery, and a conscious message about repatriation to Africa, and keeping in touch with your roots.
On the flip, the rhythm comes out to play - Sly Dunbar on drums, with some of his signature steppin' roots style (reminds us of those cuts on that Sly & Robbie 'Hard Core Dub' LP), and the way the dub is mixed is absolutely perfect. The intro is already 10/10, and then those radiophonic siren shots, and the perfect drops of vocal, synths, keys and guitar - what a ride!

Served up in Joe Gibbs 7" house bag, lookin' nice, sounding even better.
