REBEL MUSIC VOL. 2: EARLY SESSIONS

This volume was previously available as disc one of Rebel Music Vol 1: early sessions. That set has been restructured
and made available in single volumes because it will be easier to update as upgrades become available.

The collection makes many of the older compilations unnecessary, the other tracks can be found on
official releases and the singles collected by Kazo on his Black Vinyl series.

CATCH A FIRE STUDIO SESSIONS Dynamic’s - recorded Oct 1972
1. Concrete Jungle ‘Pecker’ version - 21st Century Dub LP, 1980 (5’07) A Smokey Room dub collection
2. Baby We’ve Got A Date - Rock It Babe dub, demo longer (4’23) Chris Blackwell dubs 3 (upgrade)

NB. Eight tracks, edited versions from Catch A Fire excluding Midnight Ravers are on the bootleg tape: 20 Greatest Hits.

BURNIN’ STUDIO SESSIONS Harry J’s - recorded April 1973
3. The Oppressed Song (3’18) Burnin’ alternate version (upgrade)
4. Reincarnated Souls (3’54) Burnin’ alternate version (upgrade)
5. No Sympathy (3’09) Burnin’ alternate version (upgrade)

7. Get Up Stand Up 2 - take 3 (3’49) Burnin’ alternate version (upgrade)
8. Small Axe (4’04) Burnin’ alternate version (upgrade)

NB. I have used selections from the dedhd69 upload ‘Burnin’ alternate version as this is the best source for
these tracks

NATTY DREAD STUDIO SESSIONS Harry J’s - recorded early 1974
9. Iron Lion Zion dub - 1992 remix (3’57) Chris Blackwell dubs
xx Rebel Music shorter version as 7" but fades early -

11. Instrumental “Talkin’ Blues” - mono (4’04) Santana’s Secret tape
12. Them Belly Full short mix as JA 7" but fades 30s early (2'59) Natty Dread Alternate Mix (new addition)
13. Bend Down Low dub - I Threes vocals only, mono (6’37) Natty Dread Alternate Mix
14. Am A Do alternate - no female harmony, mono (3’28) Natty Dread Demos Alts & Dubs (upgrade)

16. Lively Dub Yourself (4’20) Dub & Vocals private mix
17. Revolution take 1 - mono (4’27) Santana’s Secret tape
18. Revolution take 2 - mono as above but different mix (4’30) Santana’s Secret tape

NB. The instrumental is not Talking Blues but is still titled as such in the discography

Tracks marked xx are excluded they are noted as being very similar to official releases and / or have poorer
quality.
Them Belly Full short mix (01-12) has better quality than the similar black vinyl source and has therefore
been included

Fakes:
There are a more than a few fake fan made demos circulating so it’s worthwhile to be aware of them. I’m not particularly
against fake mixes if they have been done well and I have included one above, Lively Dub Yourself.

Lively Up Yourself is one of the most commonly used tracks for fan made remixes and dubs etc. because it’s on the
circulating multi track masters, the remaining are listed below:

Lively Up Yourself dub mix (8'35) fake, long mix with phaser effect -
So Jah Seh dub (4’29) Ultra rarities
Rebel Music long dub (6’43) Ultra rarities
Revolution echo mix (4’03) Authentic demos
