Free for All is a profoundly heavy set of mid-‘70s roots music from New York–based producer Lloyd “Bullwackie” Barnes and itinerant soundman Melvin “Munchie” Jackson. Jackson was a partner in Jamaica's legendary Tafari imprint, along with his brother Maurice Jackson, singer Little Roy, and legendary producer Lee “Scratch” Perry. Free for All collects a number of menacing, earth-shaking dubs that originally appeared as b-sides of small-run 45s on the Tafari label and on Barnes’ own Aires imprint in the United States. Included are smoky versions of tunes originally voiced at Perry’s Black Ark studio, including Little Roy’s “Tribal War": an epochal celebration of a peace treaty among Kingston’s gangs. It's presented here in a wonderfully hallucinatory dub mix. Elsewhere, Stranger Cole’s loping lovers rock cut “My Application” is completely reworked as “Dis Yah Dub," a truly disorienting bass-and-drum workout made even stranger by unexpected bursts of organ and a truly deranged, reverb-drenched guitar line.
