Jamaican born veteran singer Robert Dallas reworks Barrington Levy's classic early 80s Dancehall anthem 'Prison Oval Rock' in fine style! This updated and adapted version utilises producer Richie Phoe's 'Roll Like Lion' rhythm track which originally featured Josie Wales (also released on Roots Garden records back in 2013).
Richie Phoe works his dubwise magic on the flip side for 'Cell Block Dub', stripping the rhythm back to it's bare bones as he captures Robert in his echo chamber!

This release was originally recorded and cut as an exclusive Roots Garden records 'dubplate special' back in 2014 after Robert Dallas dropped these lyrics freestyle over the mic at a Roots Garden sound system session held in Brighton (on the south coast ofEngland)...the crowd went crazy calling for the DJ to rewind the tune several times! This track has proved so popular at subsequent Roots Garden sessions that we have finally decided to make it available to everyone.

Voiced at Jamtone studios London
Produced and mixed by Richie Phoe
