Review: Way back in 1974, Wailers members Aston "Family Man" Barrett and brother Carlton Barrett joined forces with dub maestro King Tubby to produce an album for Keith Hudson's obscure Mamba imprint. Since then, Pick-A-Dub has become something of a cult hit, with reggae fans lapping up previous reissues on Simply Vinyl and Blood & Fire. This latest reissue - the first for 15 years - has been faithfully re-mastered, allowing the booming basslines, clipped guitars, and King Tubby's brilliant production to shine. Given the quality of the material, which sits sounds like The Wailers in dub crossed with the heavyweight madness of Lee "Scratch" Perry, it wouldn't be stretching it to call Pick-A-Dub a genuine dub classic.
