Rarities from the mighty Yabby You – with some remarkably strong, though little heard rootsy dub from Yabby and his extended brethren – including some recently discovered bits! The title Deeper Roots works on dual fronts. It's got pretty rare material, discovered by the always deep diggers at Pressure Sounds – but the material has deeper spiritual resonance, too – with a nice Rasta vibe running throughout! Yabby is joined by King Tubby, Barrington Spence, the rarely recorded Prince Pampidoo, King Manuel, The Prophets and others. Includes "Valley Of Joeasaphat" and "Joeasaphat Rock" with Smith & The Prophets, "Don't Touch I Dread" with Barington Spence", "Tutch Dub" with Prophet All Stars, "Dip Them Bedward" with Prince Pampidoo, "Dub Them Bedward" with Prophet All Stars, "Forward On The Track" with King Miguel, "Caymamas Rock" with King Miguel & The Prophets, "Cleo's Dub" with Hot City Allstars and more.

A crucial Yabby You set, dug up by the crew at Blood & Fire – this set contains the whole of the Yabby You & Michael Prophet "Vocal and Dub" album, plus 8 extra tracks taken mostly from hard to get 45s. We've always loved Yabby You, and his dub collaborations with King Tubby have yielded some of the fattest rhythms around. Tubby's in full effect here, along with his disciple Prince Jammy, and the band's a killer too, with Santa Davis, Chinna Smith, Ansel Collins and a great horn section: Tommy McCook, Bobby Ellis and Vin Gordon. 18 tracks: "Zambia", "Steppin' High", "Mount Zion Version", "Heads A Roll Dub", "Rock With Me Dub", "Conscious Man Dub" & "Warn Them Jah Dub".
