Fighting Dub 1975-1979 is a collection issued on the Love label in 1975. The album's original mix was done by Errol "E.T." Thompson at
Joe Gibbs' studio. Basically, these dubs were of Lloyd "Spiderman" Campbell's hits at the time, such as "Jacket" and "First Cut Is the Deepest." The album is expanded by eight bonus tracks of Campbell dub plate productions by
the Revolutionaries (including
Sly & Robbie), Jah Woosh,
Vin Gordon with
the Revolutionaries, and Skin, Flesh & Bones. While this is solid material, it's hardly imaginative and the compilation can be seen as essential only for the most die-hard reggaephiles. ~ Thom Jurek
