Fun music trivia: Dennis Bovell, British reggae super producer, Lover's rock, Linton Kwesi Johnson's superlative early albums, The Pop Group, etc. Bovell contends Hendrix's "Third Stone from the Sun" was the very first dub track ever produced in 1967. Six years before the more popularly recognized dub landmark, Lee "Scratch" Perry's Upsetter's 14 Dub Blackboard Jungle. Or is this "electric church music," as I've heard Hendrix refer to some of his music? And in addition to this being possibly the very first dub track and electric church music this is also an early example of the space rock sub-genre. So very complex multi-faceted classic rock.
