One of those stories with a happy ending...About 1980 a mate who owned a record shop in Kingston upon Thames gave me a spin of Hudson's album From One Extreme To Another. Didn't have the dosh, left it, went back, gone. It was so good I've never forgotten it. Anyhoo, tripped up over the dub variant of it the other day, called Nuh Skin Up, fresh rerelease on Pressure Sounds, gave it a spin and...good beyond wildest dreams. Anyone who remembers me trilling about Island Records Presents Dub a couple of years or so back: buy this mutha with impunity. It'll shred your synapses even without t'erb. Truly, truly great. Reckon the most imaginative dub I know. A total trip.
