This is a sweltering and slick release straight from King Tubby's studio and it is packed with plenty of highlights, which include the title track, ''Time A Go Dread''. Other highlights include ''Mafia'', ''Slaving'' and the absolute mesmerising track of ''Come Back Early''. Here Parks showcases his talent as a singer and the influence of King Tubby can be found on the alternate versions of each track. This is an early reggae style with some influence of dub treatments, which makes it a perfect snap shot into Jamaica at the time when Rastafarianism is about to take over the music from a lyrical perspective. The assembled cast here is quite impressive also, with Ansel Collins and Dillinger appearing among others.
