MABRAK / DRUM TALK (DUG OUT盤LP)
リロイ・マブラック率いるアフリカのトーキング・ドラム演奏集団MABRAKとKING TUBBYのダブ・ミックスの組み合わせによる、1976年にjigsawから300枚のみリリースされた珍盤ナイヤビンギ／レゲエ的レア・アルバムが、 HONEST JON'SとBASIC CHANNELがタッグを組んだコア・レゲエ復刻レーベルDUG OUTからリイシュー！ Count Ossie、The Light of Saba.、RAS MICHAELなんかのファンは聴いてみてくださいー。 Leroy Mattis' first drum was a plastic butter container. 'My mother wouldn't buy me a drum because back then the situation in Jamaica was very tense... In 1960 Jamaica was still an English colony, and the drum is a roots instrument.' Tommy McCook was living two doors down; during the first years of The Skatalites, Mattis would practise there. In 1970 he was National Junior Drumming Champion, with Count Ossie winning overall; four years later his ensemble battled in the Senior finals with the drummers of the Light Of Saba. 'Our group was initially called Genesis, it was a 7-piece drum group, but I changed the name to Mabrak, which means Thunder in Amharic. We knew that we were coming with a heavy sound.' Experiments in percussion, in the middle of the night at Harry J's - funky versions of rhythms like Curly Locks, Too Late To Turn Back Now and Fattie Fattie, led by talking drums - beautifully mixed by King Tubby, who couldn't believe his ears. Originally released in 1976, in paper inners only. Smartly sleeved in quintessential Dug Out style this time around - with an insert, including a recent interview with Mabrak. （DUG OUT） Side 1 1.
