Don Letts - Social Classics Volume 2 Dread Meets Punk Rockers Uptown
Review by Mark Whittaker
Don Letts' Social Classics is a must-have for any music lover's collection. The album features a carefully curated selection of tracks that highlight the social commentary and political activism present in music throughout history.
Letts, a renowned filmmaker and DJ, combines his expertise in both fields to create a cohesive and powerful album. The tracks range from classic protest songs like Bob Dylan's "Masters of War" to more contemporary tracks like Public Enemy's "Fight the Power."
The album's standout track is Letts' own remix of The Clash's "Guns of Brixton," which adds a new layer of urgency to the already politically charged song.

Comments
Not sure if I’m right but I’d say this was one of the first dub reggae flip sides ever and it’s from 1969, R.I.P Scratch , a true legend!
DUB de DUB!!
