Heartical Sound & Label’s brand new one-riddim album pays tribute to the great late Vivian Jackson better known as Yabby You (RIP 14.8.1946 / 12.1.2010). As usual, all instruments are played by the Basque Dub Foundation band, under the leadership of Inyaki Yarritu.

The riddim is a remake of Yabby You’s “Walls of Jerusalem”, originally released in 1976. Both Heartical and BDF share a very special relationship with Vivian Jackson: BDF and the Massive Sounds crew first organized a concert featuring Yabby You, The Robotics and Mad Professor in Bilbao (Basque Country / Spain) at the Bilbo Reggae Splash in 1993 (the recording of this show has since then been released on Ariwa Label, under the name “Yabby You live in Bilbao”). They brought Yabby back to Spain in 1998 for another show in Madrid and during those five years, Inyaki was regularly in touch with him and even recorded some melodica tracks over Yabby’s productions, but this material is still unreleased nowadays.

In 2017, Inyaki was contacted by the label Jah Fingers to record some keyboards over three 12” releases using Yabby You material (“Mighty counselor” / “I’m just a dread” / “Stop your quarrelling”). Heartical was lucky to record the first Yabby You dubplate ever in 2003, when Sir Joe visited Jamaica and was introduced to the iconic artist and producer by one of his original disciples, the great late Patrick Andy, who was also a member of The Prophets. Yabby came all the way from the countryside where he was living for a one away recording session that was held at Joe Gibbs studio in Kingston. This powerful dubplate for Heartical, adapting the song “Conquering lion”, has since then become one of the most famous anthems of the Paris based sound.
