Before Lloyd "Bullwackie" Barnes made his move to New York, there to set up the legendary Wackies studio and label, he did some
production work alongside fellow up-and-coming producers Jah Upton and Prince Douglas at King Tubby's studio in Jamaica. The
material on this 1976 album was recorded there using the Soul Syndicate band in 1974 and 1975, and consists of dub versions of
tracks originally credited to Reckless Breed, the Sylvesters, Don Carlos (credited here as Jah Carlos) and, inevitably, the
Bullwackie's All Stars.
The CD release comes as part of a slow flood of Wackie's reissues, and marks the first time most of this material has been issued
on CD. Those familiar with Barnes' creative yet roots-based production style will know exactly what to expect, but Prepare Jah
Man (the Don Carlos showcase) is sure to surprise and delight even the most jaded roots collector, and dark and minimalist
instrumental grooves like Creation and Grand Slam (the latter consisting of little other than drum'n'bass for
extended sections) will be welcomed equally by those who just can't get enough of the dubwise '70s sound.
