Straight To Babylon Chest Riddim – Live, Love

1976’s Straight To Babylon Chest comes from Bunny Lee for Live and Love, a lean roots-to-dub cut with just two names on the tracklist: Jah Youth’s title tune and The Aggrovators’ Bullet Dub. The release sits right in Bunny Striker Lee’s busy mid-’70s run, when he was pairing tough vocal sides with stripped-back dub versions, and the Aggrovators’ presence points to that classic studio-heavy Kingston sound. It’s a compact single-style set, but the pairing of a conscious vocal and a dub flip gives it a sharp, no-frills feel.
