Description
In 2012, Prince Fatty produced a signature dub reworking of tracks from Hollie Cook's debut 2012 LP, plus a selection of other choice dub-infused covers. Mr Bongo now presents a fresh repress on blue vinyl of this classic album.
In the tradition of vintage reggae albums, renowned producer Prince Fatty took to the controls and dubbed out Hollie Cook's self-titled debut album from 2011. In trademark dub fashion, Prince Fatty strips back Hollie's classic reggae and tropical pop productions, adding in extra bass alongside delays, tape echoes, and reverbs to Hollie's captivating vocals. The resulting versions give the songs space to breathe, whilst adding in a weighty, heads-down element to the productions.
As Prince Fatty mentions, "The dub versions showcase real tape echoes, heavy spring reverbs and alternate instrumental elements such as melodica, percussion or horns that were hidden in the vocal versions. All the dubs are mixed live in my studio in the same Rub a Dub style as was made famous in '70s Jamaica by King Tubby and others, i.e, not with the use of computers for automation and endless digital nonsense but with fingers, late night vibes and re-arranged with a razor blade!".
In addition to the tracks featured from the debut album, this dub release features mixes of Hollie Cook and Prince Fatty's cover version of The Whispers' disco classic 'And The Beat Goes On' and 'For Me You Are Dub', a ska cover of an old Andrews Sisters' classic. Alongside that, there's a delicious adaptation of the Shangri-Las' legendary record 'Walking in the Sand', and 'Baby', a revamp of the heavily requested anthem, in collaboration with French synth-pop outfit, The Shoes.
Thirteen years on, this superb dub album sounds as quintessential and authentic as ever.
