This album was fashioned by Island Record engineers John Burns and Dick Cuthell in their Hammersmith studio. The backing musicians, who producer Lawrence Lindo named The Black Disciples, were assembled from members of The Wailers and The Soul Syndicate. It has been suggested that "dub" could derive from "duppie," a Jamaican patois word for ghost, as Lee Perry has been quoted stating that dub is "the ghost in me coming out," this connection further illustrated by Burning Spear naming this album as the ghost of Garvey.
