- 09KayaDuke Reid and U-Roy did it with a bunch of old rocksteady songs, just as Justin Hinds and the Dominoes re-trod ‘Carry Go Bring Come’ in both ska and rocksteady (coincidentally, another Duke Reid production); and Bob Marley wasn't above redeploying the Wailers’ 1971/72 Lee Perry sessions as late as his 1978 Kaya album.from the chapter

- 24King Tubby's Meets Rockers UptownAugustus Pablo also followed this sequence for his collaborative LP King Tubby's Meets Rockers Uptown, a subtle, strikingly orchestral album, with the shimmering melodic depths of Pablo's production and the cocky, high-stepping, high-end rhythms giving the mixer plenty to work with.from the chapter
- 25“Baby I Love You So”When Island Records UK released ‘Baby I Love You So’ by Jacob Miller, the vocal cut of the album's title track, the original plan was to put ‘King Tubby's Meets Rockers Uptown’ on the flip, but somebody, apparently from Island USA, suggested reversing the running order.from the chapter

- 27“Groovy Dub”Dubs of all his hits, such as ‘Groovy Dub’, ‘Sufferers' Dub’, ‘Revelation Dub’, ‘Party Time Pt 2’, ‘Corn Fish Dub’ and so on were always far more imaginative than their titles suggest, and boosted his reputation to the sky.from the chapter

- 37East of the River NileOver the page is East of the River Nile by Augustus Pablo, the same songs done over as instrumentals but now presented as the most engrossing example of Pablo's Addis-type sound, delicate but punchy with his Melodica, clavinet, harpsichord and xylophone floating just above the mix.from the chapter
- 38Eastman DubThen finally the Rockers International Band's Eastman Dub, that same collection of tracks remixed into dubs that strip away enough to bare the powerful pumping Rockers rhythms that are the other sets' soul, yet retain sufficient phased chord progressions, echoed horns and guitar signatures to give the melodies a look in.from the chapter
