Red Gold & Green #21 - The Dubwood Allstars
The mysterious Dubwood Allstars originally released 'Under Dubwood' in 2012 and I featured it on these very pages at the time. When a mash-up works it can be an utterly inspired thing and here is one such example - Richard Burton's narration of 'Under Milk Wood' is laid over King Tubby's 'Ali Baba' riddim with spine-tingling results. Now news reaches me that a third repress of this unique single will be made available on August 4th. Read all about it and / or order a copy here.

I featured this one as part of my Welsh Wednesday series, even though I have no idea if the Dubwood Allstars are/were Welsh in any way. But Richard Burton reading Dylan Thomas - that's Welsh enough for me! Fabulous track, nice to hear about the repress. It shows there are plenty of people out there who like it enough to want to own a copy.
I've posted this before too. An inspired record.
Splendid. It looks like we're all on the same page. Spread the word!
Tell you what though, 'tis a bit pricey. £10 for a 7"? And a third pressing at that...
