Limited restock. "Pretty much since its original release in 1977, Creation Dub has been as wanted amongst reggae bounty hunters as its Wild West cover typography suggests --every track a killer, a key Bullwackies dub album. The record inaugurated Wackies' fruitful London connection: the second-pressing sleeve carries a nostalgic distribution credit for the long-gone Maroons Tunes shop, run by Rae Cheddie for Honest Jons. The core musicians here are Allah, Clive Hunt and Jerry Harris, with outstanding contributions from hornsman Sel Wheeler and Roy Robertson on bass, and John Clarke on the single vocal track. Included are dubs of rhythms voiced for Wackies by the Chosen Brothers, Joe Auxumite and K.C.White, alongside versions of Mammy Blue, Bo Kirkland's soul classic 'I Want To Get Next To You', and a superb reprise of Sel Wheeler's 12" cover of Jo Jo Bennett's 'Leaving Rome'."

"The musicians on this classic early 80ies dub release are Itopia augmented by Leroy Sibbles and Jackie Mittoo. Also Annette Brissette on drums -- her solo album provides three outstanding cuts here, featuring Menelik in fine style on percussion. 12Inches by Barrington Spence and Lloyd Hemmings take dub honors from the Wackie's mixing desk -- also Sugar Minott, Leroy Sibbles' redemptive version of Lionel Richie's 'Truly', and the rhythms behind still-unissued vocal tracks by Milton Henry and -- best of all, the killing Super Dub cut -- The Shades. More resplendent dub from Bullwackies!"

Available again. "As there haven't been any information with the original album release from 1982, the short and basic info is as follows: 'The Reckless Breed in Jamaica, the New Breed in New York! Scotty and crew rock rootical Jezzreel rhythm tracks like 'Roman Soldiers', with fine sing-jaying from Jah Batta; also Clive Hunt's inimitable take on the 'Rockfort Rock' rhythm; and a steppers version of Junior Delgado's Upsetter classic 'Sons Of Slaves'. 'Natures Dub' -- this sound a rockers.rockers.rockers.me say a rockers.rockers. Essential dub music!"

2014 repress. LP version. "Originally issued in 1983, African Roots Act 3 is basically the dub counterpart of Sugar Minott's Wicked Ago Feel It album (also out in Rhythm & Sound's Bullwackies reissue programme). Lloyd Barnes' key collaborators here are Sugar himself and stalwart Jackie Mittoo, with the core of his studio musicians drawn from the group Itopia. Subdued and hypnotic, musically more sparse than its predecessor, African Roots Act 3 offers the same trademark combination of Wackie's originals and classic Studio One rhythms, nodding again to The Heptones ('I Hold The Handle', 'Love Me Always'). Worth buying for the version of 'Real Rock' ('the rhythm most known with the song 'Armagideon Time' by Willie Williams or covered by The Clash) alone and a must have for the fans of Sugar Minott, the Wackies label in general and for all lovers of dub reggae."
