Ballistic! - By: S. J. Razzetti, 23 Nov 2007 
I too bought the original vinyl over 20 years ago, & recently pulled it out for a listen. Like most of Tubby's work, it still sounds as fresh & wicked today as it did when released. Tommy McCook was one of reggae's seminal hornsmen, & these Bunny Lee riddims showcase his powerful, rhythmic style perfectly. The base lines are some of the deepest ever recorded. Positively seismic! Just wrap up a fat one, put on Sprinkling Dub or Happy Dub,and crank it up.
Osbourne Ruddock may be dead & gone, but King Tubby lives! Long live the King!
quality mid-70s dub from the master - By: freewheeling frankie, 25 Jun 2007 This release is typical of Trojan's non-compilation product at the moment - an original album from way back when with some relevant additional material. Quality control seems to have improved recently & this CD combines one of the better early(ish) dub albums with some well-chosen bonus tunes decently mastered - one of the bonus tracks previously issued on a Blood & Fire CD sounds considerably better here. The overall theme is horns & dub, with fine examples of both spread across some of Bunny Lee's best flying cymbal rhythms. About half of this is absolutely top notch of its kind, the rest is pretty good. Recommended to both devotees & newcomers.
Dub Genius!! - By: P. B. Brown, 17 Jun 2007 I got the original Album some 20 odd years ago & am still amazed by this man's obvious genius. Excellent mixes backed up by vibrant & infectious horn sections. This is ANOTHER Tubby album that makes me feel the pain of his family. Strange coincidence that Tubby was senselessly killed, Like so many other's, by some deluded no mark for next to nothing.
Long Live The Dub Creator, Gone but NEVER FORGOTTEN!
