Bionic Dub (Red Blood); Theme From Steve (Baby Why); Austin Chuck (What Kind Of World); Six Million Dub (Fools Fall In Love); Squash Dub (Love Gonna Pack Up) // Meet 7 Million (I Man A Rasta); Oscar (Darker Shade Of Black); Exodus; Robot Fixt; Barny Dub (Hurting Me)

Pre-released in Jamaica in 1975 in a plain sleeve on either a blank Forward or blank WINRO label. (Dodds use of the Forward label slightly pre-dates the use of the WINRO label.)

Definitely one of my favourites albums from the dub series. It opens with a startling dub/instrumental featuring an ethereal trombone improvisation from Don D Jr drifting in and out of the mix. The rest of the tracks are pretty darned good, too...
