Producer Bertram Brown started his Freedom Sounds label in 1975 with the production of Philip Fraser's "This time won't be like the last time". The backing was provided by the local band, Soul Syndicate. Bertram Brown and his Freedom Sounds label released until the late seventies numerous classic tracks from singers like Rod Taylor, Milton Henry, Prince Alla, Earl Zero, Frankie Jones, just to name a few. He teamed up with King Tubby for voicing and mixing the tracks at King Tubby's studio in Drummillie avenue. Blood & Fire has collected a bunch of splendid dubs on this album cut inbetween 1976 and 1979. It's the kind of dub one would expect coming from the dub master King Tubby : heavy riddims, delay echo, slide faders and phasing. It's a faultless sampler from the archives of Bertram Brown !
