i would recommend african roots 3.
my fave dub is the b sides on wayne jarrett showcase vol. 1.

yes diggy brown, that scientist album is the first ever disc i bought, in 1982, for 4.99 in Manchester.
"there are many changes in life,
changes in every little thing"

yes i have been listening to the kingdom of dub starring the man scientist today, extraordinarily sweet dub yarr!!!

of course, all scientist releases tend to be great in fact.

The Upsetters - Blackboard Jungle Dub!!!!

I guess this was kind of hard to find before, with poorly mastered reissues. Don't know about the Auralux 14 Blackboard Jungle release, if it's the same or how it stacks up, soundwise, but you can get it as part of the Dub Triptych 2 disc for cheap. IMO, far superior to the later Megaton Dubs and Super Ape, but that's just my taste.

Keith Hudson - Nuh Skin Up
Prince Far I - Cry Tuff Dub Encounter

Also, not Jamaican and very digital, but I love it:

Sheriff Lindo & the Hammer - Ten Dubs that Shook the World

Deep, heavy trip.

On the topic of digital non-Jamaican dub, I'd recommend *Manasseh Meets The Equalizer - Step Like Pepper*. The cover, looking out an airplane window into the bright sky, is a very accurate representation of the album's overall feeling.

Prince Hammer - World War Dub part 1 was one of the first dub albums I bought and still one of my faves- saw him support the Slits at Glasgow City Hall and went straight out this album whch came out the same year - havent found it on CD if anyone knows of a release I would be gratefull

I don't believe *Prince Hammer - World War Dub Part 1* has ever been released on CD. It's a shame too, it's definitely a quality album.
