about

Rivertones – the recorded music of Caught by the River – have repressed their classic 2012 Dylan Thomas-in-dub 7" Under Dubwood by the Dubwood Allstars.
B/W River Theme by The Time & Space Machine

Third pressing. Soild centre. Rivertones house bag.

To begin at the beginning.

It was spring, moonless night in the big city… actually, maybe it was summer. A demo tape arrived at Caught by the River towers. No stamp; hand delivered in an envelope that opened with a rich fug. The clear signs of a well-lived life. Hand stamped ‘Under Dubwood’, no other details. The sender clearly wished to remain anonymous. A mystery was already unfolding for us.

When played, the cassette opened a door onto another universe. One where Laugharne had been built in Treasure Bay and Richard Burton relaxed at the bar of Browns Hotel with no bigger question on his mind than “Brains SA or Red Stripe?” It conjured a place where King Tubby could ride the faders and bathe the words of Dylan Thomas in celestial, timeless dub; a place where two cultures clash to form a perfect whole. Three minutes, fifty-five seconds later, we were in love.

We never did find out who made it. It’s been nine years now since we assumed it was in the spirit of the recording to press it up and see where it took us. Surely the mighty creator must have wanted that, otherwise why send it?

Time passes. Under Dubwood still casts a hypnotic spell. It continues to beguile all who hear its Studio One siren call, Negril meets Neath, the unofficial Caught by the River anthem. And still a mystery to this day.

Listen. Time passes.
