While the band's personnel remained fluid – depending on which players were available and frequently overlapping with other seminal sessions bands such as Joe Gibbs' The Professionals and Bunny \"Striker\" Lee's The Aggrovators – The Revolutionaries were most known as Channel One's house band in the mid to late '70s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe decision to top-bill The Revolutionaries, rather than feature an individual artist as was customary at the time, was made by Kingston's most celebrated female producer, Sonia Pottinger who shrewdly determined that The Revolutionaries' name alone would be a can't miss selling point. One only needs to spend a minute with \u003cem\u003eDub Expression\u003c\/em\u003e to hear why.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally released in 1978 on Pottinger's High Note label,\u003cem\u003e Dub Expression\u003c\/em\u003e represents the essence of dub in its purest form. An absolute classic.

The Jamaican producers wanted to use the hype of course to maximize their own rhythm return and sent their in-house back catalog straight through the echo chamber. Since the market was then relatively small and there was usually no time for marketing, most of the Dub-Albums only produced in limited editions and with cheap covers - which, however, did not disqualify them from being extremely sought-after collector's items today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDub Expression\u003c\/em\u003e (Dub Store Records), produced by Sonja Pottinger in the Treasure Isle studio, recorded by the Revolutionaries and mixed by studio engineer Errol Brown, is one of these albums. It dates from 1978 and brings together some of the then current Treasure Isle versions of rhythms such as \"Get in the Groove\" \/ \"Up Park Camp\", \"Ghetto Girl\" \/ \"Stay at Home\" or \"Heavy Rock\" \/ \"Jah.\" Jah See Them A Come ”. It has everything a classic 1970's Dub-Album makes it attractive: Well-known riddims, the most beautiful Jamaican analog sound, lots and lots of atmosphere and generally, the spirit of the good old days. I especially like it for its beautiful, rich Treasure Isle sound - relaxed mixed by in-house engineer Errol Brown. — (via \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/dubblog.de\/en\/errol-brown-the-revolutionaries-dub-expression\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eDub Blog\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nidKYP6tlBc?si=B18xpFJ2W8BU3h9G\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVinyl Tracklist\u003cbr\u003eA1 The Gun Court Dub\u003cbr\u003eA2 Ital Stew\u003cbr\u003eA3 Super Tracks\u003cbr\u003eA4 Dread At The Controls\u003cbr\u003eA5 Ghetto Dub\u003cbr\u003eB1 Ranking Marshal\u003cbr\u003eB2 Down Town Ting\u003cbr\u003eB3 Bond Street Rock\u003cbr\u003eB4 Melodious Dub\u003cbr\u003eB5 Mark Dis Yah Dub\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e↓\u003cbr\u003eLabel: Antarctica Starts Here\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Vinyl, LP, Reissue\u003cbr\u003eReissued: 2025 \/ Originally Released: 1978\u003cbr\u003eGenre: Reggae\u003cbr\u003eStyle: Dub\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFile under: Reggae \/ Dub\u003cbr\u003e⦿\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antarctica Starts Here","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47617577779358,"sku":"857661008582","price":60.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/files\/ex_1024x1024_5a6ad38e-82b1-43ca-869b-e89d7b8a8949.jpg?v=1780740221","url":"https:\/\/theanalogvault.com\/products\/errol-brown-the-revolutionaries-dub-expression","provider":"The Analog Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
