(LP) TAPPA ZUKIE IN DUB
Limited Edition / 180g Vinyl / Remastered
Brought to life in 1976 on his small imprint Stars, In Dub is one of the most sought after Tappa Zukie album.

(LP) JACKIE MITTOO - STEPPING TIGER
Rare Jackie Mittoo album, originally released in 1979 on unknown label, Rite Sound inc. The original release was sold without a jacket (maybe a promo only release ?), adding a mysterious vibe to the whole thing. The dubby effects-intensive sound of the album extends from ‘Russian Satelite’ to the whole side A, with ‘Harder Than The Rest’, ‘Stepping Tiger’ and ‘World Of Love’ being an excellent triptych of note. The thrill of Jackie's crazy keyboards intertwining with the floating dub sound like a heavenly space is beyond description. Space is the place.
