"From the infamous 1980 production run of Sly & Robbie and their Taxi label. Keen followers of the dubplate runnings of yore know that in '80 going into '81, the spare, piledriver sound of Taxi drum and bass at Channel 1 was one of the, if not THE ruling sound on dubplate. Some tunes, like 'Heart Made of Stone' and several Black Uhuru tunes were eventually released on wax and became hits. Others, like 'Warrior' and 'Rocks and Mountains,' never got that far, only unearthed after decades of infamy as dubplates. So to kick off the return to this sound, here's one that was never released and very few ever had the privilege of playing, even on steel. 'Don't You Cry' by the Viceroys is raw, haunting roots with a monster drum and bass workout of a version. Straight from the dub room at 29 Maxfield Avenue to your living room, another DKR special delivery."
