Does Tough Guys In Dub even exist? I'm starting to doubt now that you mentioned that Is It War Or Is It Peace is a dub of Mixed Up Moods.

I've never seen Tough Guys In Dub, but it does have a page in Roots Archives:

http://www.roots-archives.com/release/5192

So I guess it must exist...
I hope someone can provide more info.

Thanks for confirming. Is it a dub version to Jacob Miller's Mixed Up Moods?
Great artwork on that, by the way:

Is It War Or Is It Peace? is definitely a dub of Mixed Up Moods. I don't know what Bad Guys In Dub is a dub to, but it's not Mixed Up Moods. I just listened to the opening of each cut on YouTube - on first impressions, it's a relaxing, mellow dub.

Going further into Fatman Riddim Section, in The Rough Guide To Reggae book it says that the dub album by Fatman Riddim Section called Israel Tafari is a dub version to the album Why Worry by Israel Vibraton, but is there an album by them called Why Worry?
I know they have a tune called Why Worry but never seen or heard of an album called that way.
Does anyone know something about this?

It's a dub to Same Song.

Also Ogima and Amigo aren't counter parts as the titles might lead one to believe. A great thread at BAF on the Black Slate dub albums.

Again, thanks for clarification, I will remove them from the list.
I found the thread on BAF, very interesting.
I bought the Ogima LP last week at a record fair, but I dont own the Amigo LP yet, I was just assuming they were counterparts. The Ogima LP is very good by the way, I like it better than their other dub album, that came with Six Plus One. It seems heavier.
