Death Is Not The End sub-label 333 hit again with a reissue of a rarely encountered piece of prime UK digi, courtesy of Franklyn Bernard aka Frankie B - mixed at Fashion's legendary A Class Studio based out of Dub Vendor's premises, and released on the Ital Stuff label in early 1986.
Frankie B began his recording career with producer Bert Douglas, first releasing on his Reggae City label in 1984 with the No More Tears 7" under his birth name Franklyn Bernard. In 1985 he then linked up the Ital Stuff - a production team consisting of three brothers who also helmed the Sweet & Bitter Band. Operating a small eight track studio in the basement of their house in Balham, Ital Stuff had recently been responsible for putting together and laying down the backing track to Dixie Peach's classic Pure Worries, released on the Jah Tubbys label in 1985. Upon playing Pure Worries to Frankie he was immediately inspired to lay down his own vocal on the track, which too features Dixie Peach contributing vocal harmonies - it was recorded late 1985 and mixed down along with a ferocious dub side at South London's A Class Studio, eventually seeing release in early 1986.

1985年、Frankie BはSweet & Bitter Bandを率いる3兄弟からなるプロダクション・チーム、Ital Stuffと手を組んだ。Ital Stuffは、1985年にJah TubbysからリリースされたDixie Peach名曲「Pure Worries」のバッキング・トラックの制作を担当した。今作12インチでは、そのDixie Peachもヴォーカル・ハーモニーで参加している。サウス・ロンドンA Class Studio にて猛烈なダブ・サイドと共にミックスダウンされ、1986年初頭にリリースされた。ライブ・エレクトロニクスの延長とも捉えられる電子の音、危険なダブワイズ。ぶっとい電子の音。 (コンピューマ) (12inchのコメントから参照)
