This latest reissue in Blood and Fire's ongoing Yabby You program comprises the 1977 album "Deliver Me From My Enemies" in its entirety, with an additional dub of the title track, plus 4 tracks that appeared as 12" singles during 1977-8.

Also included are two previously unreleased dubplate mixes of the album track "Pick The Beam", mixed by Prince Jammy.

The whole album was mixed at King Tubby’s studio and is the last of the classic trilogy of mid / late 1970s Yabby You albums that also includes "Conquering Lion" and "Walls of Jerusalem" [both available on the "Jesus Dread" box set BAFCD 021].

Backed by an all star band featuring Sly & Robbie, Clinton Fearon and Albert Griffiths [Gladiators], Chinna, Ansel Collins, Touter and Tommy McCook, Bobby Ellis and Vin Gordon as the horn section, the set features Yabby and the Prophets at their peak, offering a beautifully-crafted set of heartfelt and deeply spiritual songs.

The front cover showcases original artwork by celebrated poster artist Ski Williams, and the package also includes the original LP sleeve notes by Linton Kwesi Johnson.

Great album & the bonus tracks are all killers - glad to see those Grove 12"s released at last ! (took me years to find them)

Think the cover art looks a bit ridiculous though...

How heavily has CEDAR been involved with this release? Or was it taken from master-tape?

by **Natty Rajah** » Sat Aug 26, 2006 11:24 am

sounds heavy... especially excited about the inclusion of these 2 tracks:

12. Jah Vengeance / Yabby You & Trinity [12" mix]
13. Free Africa / Yabby You & Trinity [12" mix]

imo, every single vocal&dj 12" is a killer...

(is "Free Africa" the same tune whose dub is on the "Babylon" soundtrack? and i'm assuming that Trinty's toast is different from "Gwan And Lef Me"?)

can't see the cover cos apparently i don't have the plugin :?:

will it be available on site before it hits the shops?

Yes to both questions

After I skipped the Congos set, this one really looks good!
Can anyone please answer the sound question by BMC?

this is really a fine release. as i never saw the shanachie release i am very excited about this one - and the bonus tracks are crucial.

i assume this is the last b&f release for 2006.
maybe we can see some more releases in 2007 ?

Looks fantastic! Big up B&F

Hey what happened to Everlasting Life ? it's missing from the track list :shock:

Also missing is Economical Crisis which was on the former CD release, great tune...

by **ackee & saltfish** » Tue Aug 29, 2006 2:52 pm

Both tunes were not on the original vinyl album, skunkie.
