Jah -


there's a great compilation out there called In Fine Style, which collects a load of the Original Rockers 12" stuff from the seventies. It's out on the Pressure Sounds label. You might already have some of these tracks already, but there is some of the greatest dub I've ever heard on this album (apart from the King Tubby Meets Rockers Uptown LP, of course!).


By the way, did you hear that the Manchester-based Blood and Fire dub and roots re-issue label has closed down?

King Tubby Meets The Rockers Uptown is indeed one of the best dub albums ever.

I have God knows how many dub/reggae records but I hadn't heard that Blood & Fire had closed down which is a terrible shame as they have been re-releasing a lot of the great classic albums and reggae compilations since their inception. By the way wasn't Mick Hucknall of Simply Red (urg!) a major shareholder/owner of the company? Hopefully Trojan or Pressure Sounds can step in there with the re-release of some of those great back catalogues.

Yup - Blood and Fire were indeed backed by Mick Hucknall. It's weird, Mr Simply Red has great taste in music, which only makes it all the more weird why his own stuff was so ... pants.

    • You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags. 
    • Hi. Can anyone suggest a plumber for the job below? Replace bath tub with a shower enclosure, putting pipes to showerhead behind wall, re-titling damaged/removed tiles Also any idea of the costs involved for the labour as we will buy the items required?
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
