A Fistful Of Dub captures The Upsetters at their creative peak, delivering heavy, stripped-down reggae and dub cuts that defined the sound of early 1970s Jamaica. This collection features collaborations with Lee Perry, Winston Wright, Val Bennett, Max Romeo, and Linval Thompson, showcasing the band's versatility across roots, ska, and experimental dub production.
The A-side opens with classic riddim cuts—from the urgent "Upsetter Sign On" to the introspective "Serious Case"—while B-side dubs explore the band's instrumental prowess with deep rhythmic explorations like "Iron Belt," "Dub A Long," and "African Blood." Perry's influence runs throughout, evident in tracks like "I've Got The Pill" and "Are You Ready."
Essential for collectors of vintage reggae and dub archaeology. A landmark release that captures the raw energy and studio innovation of The Upsetters' legacy.
