Observation Of Life Dub

[RasLeroy]

The Page One & The Observers album "Observation Of Life Dub"
http://www.roots-archives.com/release/3873
is often referred to as the dub companion to the Heptones' "Better Days" LP. And this is true for 9 out of 10 of the tracks. However The Heptones song "Key To Her Heart" doesn't have a version on the dub album. The remaining dub track "Lover's Dub" is a version of the Mighty Diamonds' "Well Hot".

Does anyone know if there actually exists a dub on the "Key To Her Heart" riddim?

Interesting. I've never had the privilege to hear the Observation Of Life Dub album but Better Days is a nice set. Thanks for the info on this.

Sorry I can't help with your question though.

Observation Of Life Dub" is included on this CD including the dub to "Key To Her Heart" called "Loves Dub"

[cover=3849,2466]

The tracks are in showcase style with the vocal followed by its dub counterpart and I don`t recall "Loves Dub" being a version of Mighty Diamonds "Well Hot".

Its ages since I had this CD so I suppose I could be mistaken.

Nah, the Observer's Style CD does feature both the "Better Days" and "Observation Of Life Dub" albums. But "Love's Dub" isn't a dub of "Key To Her Heart", it's a version of "Well Hot" a single by Tabby Diamond & The Heptones.

Wasn't Crocodisc a pirate label? I know at least David Jahson had nothing to do with Crocodisc releasing the "Natty Chase The Barber" album of his...

The VP label included both "Better Days" and the dub album in their "Deep Roots Observer Style" box set last year. Sounds great.
