The year of 1979 was perhaps the most busy and fruitful in the tragically curtailed career of the gruff but genial reggae deejay known as Prince Far I.

The title track 'Dub To Africa' had already seen service as the rhythm for both Peter Brogo's 'I A Field Marshall' and the Prince's own toast of the same 'I And I A The Chosen One', and if fact the dub version of 'I A Field Marshall' had been called 'Dub To Africa' on Cry Tuff single release, though it was actually the flip on 'I And I A The Chosen One', itself originally titled 'David', which was utilised now. For the rest, The Orginials laid pared down reworkings of former Studio One rhythms like 'College Rock': ('Glory To God') and Dawn Penn's 'You Don't Love Me' aka 'No No No' ('Hello Love Brother').
