The bulk of tunes of Black Ark In Dub consists of typical Perry riddims recorded at Black Ark just before it had been destroyed. Great dub workouts as one might expect from sound wizard Lee Perry. The album surfaced in the UK in 1980 on the Black International label and kicks off with the dub version of Lacksley Castell’s Jah Love Is Sweeter.
Watty Burtnett’s awesome classic single Open The Gate dub version is a standout selection fi real. After a spoken, hilarious intro George Faith’s Guideline gets a full shower of Perry’s over-the top-effects! In 1978 Danny Hensworth recorded Mr. Money Man, here’s the sythn drenched dub excursion called Money. Milton Samuels aka Ras Keatus I recorded only a handful of tunes. His deep roots tune DreadLocks is turned into an accomplished hypnotical dub workout. Best know riddim should be Lion as it grabs the Words from the Gatherers’ tune. Perry also used the riddim for his song called Lion A De Winner.
