The Upsetters “Super Ape” (1976) Review
Artist: The Upsetters
Album: “Super Ape”
Release: 1976
Genre: Dub/Reggae
When you talk about reggae with most people, they just know one name, and that’s Bob Marley. Yes, his contributions are grand, and yes, he’s worth noting, but there’s more to the style than just the one man. For instance, today we are going to take you back to the hot summer of 1976. August 1976 to be exact, when a group of studio musicians got together to form a dub reggae record known as “Super Ape”. The cool cover art aside, the album has been touted as one of the best dub albums of all time, and even included in one of those nifty books that chronicles the best albums you should hear before you kick the bucket.
