Yabby You Meets King Tubby

Walls Of Jerusalem (2lp)

Repress. Rare as dinosaur's chopsticks: Yabby You and King Tubby artefacts unearthed! 'Walls Of Jerusalem' is a unique musical collaboration between the producer Yabby You and the legendary dub master King Tubby. It was the last full-length project they worked on together. For years this release lay buried in obscurity: original copies came out, in minute quantities, on the Prophets Label in a blank, white sleeve. A later issue even misnamed the artist. Yet the music within is deep roots of the highest quality - mesmerizing tracks that illustrate Yabby You's particular sound and spiritual vision. Disc 1 presents the album in its original form, showcasing King Tubby's virtuosity as an engineer, deliberately shaping a sophisticated stereo mix to aid in the creation of a bold, artistic statement. Disc 2 includes a number of never-released studio outtakes, alternate mixes and instrumental cuts of some of Yabby You's most classic tunes. These mixes put the listener right there in the studio, complete with "chatter" between the musicians, Tubby and Yabby discovered on the master tapes, and included between the tracks of this reissue. Together, the two discs of 'Walls Of Jerusalem' are dub and roots music of the highest order, and a major celebration of the creative genius of Yabby You and King Tubby.
