Yabby U is one of the most unique auteurs in Jamaican music and his positively apocalyptic roots productions from the '70s stand among reggae's greatest moments. Yabby U, born Vivian Jackson, worked as a solo artist, led a few different singing groups, and produced startlingly fresh music throughout his career. His songs often sound like soundtracks to the more violent passages of the Bible, while titles like "Anti-Christ" and "King Pharoah's Plague" further set his music apart from the fun-loving beach music people usually expect reggae to be.

PROPHESY OF DUB finds the dub master himself, King Tubby, working 14 Yabby U creations through the ringer. Enduring Yabby U songs like "Conquering Lion," "Jah Vengeance," and "Run Come Rally" are here in excellent versions, but the high point is "Rock Vibration," which takes Michael Rose's "Born Free" and reshapes it into a waterfall of keyboards, echo, and reverb. King Tubby, having served as the engineer for most of Vivian Jackson's productions, has a feel for Yabby U's stunning prophesies, and the results make up one of the most disturbing and endearing dub albums of the '70s.
