Originally released on KLIK Records, in 1975, Dread Locks Dread became one of the new Front Line labelâs first key releases when reissued in 1978.
One of reggaeâs best and most recognizable âtoastersâ, Big Youth broke new ground as a DJ in the early â70s with a flowing, chant-like cadence that was equal parts melodic and invigorating, applying his infectious vocal approach to heavy social and political lyrics.
A huge favourite of the punk and new wave artists at the time of release, Big Youth was embraced by The Clash, via Don Letts, and PiL, amongst others. John Lydon was part of Richard Bransonâs A&R envoy to Jamaica, helping sign credible artists to his new Front Line reggae label.
Featuring the legendary Skin, Flesh & Bones band, formed around Lloyd Parks (bass), drummer Sly Dunbar (before he started working with Robbie Shakespeare), Ansel Collins on keyboards, and trombonist Vin Gordon. The album was produced by Tony Robinson and Errol Thompson and mixed at the famous Joe Gibbâs studio.
Dread Locks Dread skanks from punchy, rhythm-heavy reggae to the deepest, dubbiest roots. The hypnotic Some Like It Dread reworks Dennis Brownâs âSome Like It Hotâ, where the DJâs toast is entwined with a bluesy harmonica (the dub version re-titled (Black Man Message). Also features a fiery version of Burning Spearâs âMarcus Garveyâ (Marcus Garvey Dread), a tasty take on the John Holt classic âKeep on Movingâ â Moving On and a scintillating dub of the Techniquesâ rocksteady masterpiece You Donât Care.
Not your typical DJ album by any means, the music equals the toasts and vice versa â an essential release for a dub fan or a Big Youth supporter.
Re-mastered at Abbey Road Studios, London.
Out of print for over 20 years!
