Band formed by bass player Lloyd Parks that featured many of the players who would go to form Revolutionaries.
Chef, singer, record producer, owner of 10 record labels and father of 17 children, Phil Pratt is one of the more unusual and elusive characters in Jamaican music.
Responsible for some crucial rocksteady sides in the ‘60s, Phil went on to produce some of the best roots music to come out of Jamaica, including huge hits like Artibella and My Heart Is Gone.
But since relocating from Kingston, his focus has mostly been on cooking, and his headquarters has been the Scandal restaurant in West London, where his signature dishes are Oxtail Stew and Lobster Curry.
On the menu with 'Dub in Blood' we have some top draw versions mixed at Channel One.
"Dub In Blood" is one of the rarest Dub albums ever released. Originally issued on Phil Pratt's Sunshot label (also issued in England with different track titles and called "The Best Dub Album In The World") in very small quantities, this CD reissue is a welcome addition for Dub fans.
The band on this album--Skin, Flesh and Bones, was more of a live band rather than a studio group, centered around "Sly" Dunbar.
Other musicians include Robbie Shakespeare, Earl "Chinna" Smith, "Horsemouth", Ansell Collins, Ossie Hibbert, "Family Man", and a few others. Pratt recorded a lot of Dub music and this set is one of his best.
The rhythms he used are deep and organic sounding.
The track titles don't tell the story of just how good this set is. Dub fans should check this out--not only because of it's rarity, but because this is prime Dub music from the era when this type of music was heard all over Jamaica.
