Tuff Gong International continues its “Masters Vault” series with the digital release of a classic from its vast catalog. RUB-A-DUB X-MAS features veteran reggae artists including Frankie Paul and Tristan Palmer putting a roots rock touch on beloved Christmas standards with a few original carols for good measure. Produced by Ossie Thomas in the 80’s and originally released on vinyl, RUB-A-DUB X-MAS was an immediate holiday hit with reggae lovers. Although out of print since the late 1990’s the album continued to be in demand with collectors. RUB-A-DUB X-MAS has been remastered and is available on Friday December 4, 2015 at all digital retail outlets.
RUB-A-DUB X-MAS is the latest release in a series of albums from the vast Tuff Gong catalog of master tapes. Tuff Gong- Masters Vault features remastered recordings that have never before been available digitally. The series launched earlier this year with the release of So Much Things To Say- the Bob Marley Interviews and then followed by the critically acclaimed Totally Tyrone by the late Tyrone Taylor (“Cottage in Negril” and “Rainy Sunset”). More titles from this series are set to be released in 2016.
