"Revolution Dub" is an album by Lee Perry & The Upsetters, released in Jamaica in 1975 in very small quantities. It features radical, groundbreaking drum & bass mixes, sound effects (including bizarre excerpts of British comedy recorded from the radio), heavy bass, vocals by Perry himself, and an early use of a drum machine in reggae. This is some of the earliest available dub material mixed by Lee "Scratch" Perry, who would soon make a name for himself as a dub master with classic, internationally distributed albums such as "Super Ape" (Island 1976). Other early Scratch groundbreaking dub albums include the fine "Rhythm Shower" (Trojan). Scratch's first dub album, the 1973 super classic "Blackboard Jungle Dub" was mixed by dub originator and master King Tubby, who taught Perry a great deal at Dynamic Sound studios before Scratch went out on his own and opened his famous Black Ark Studios in January 1974.
