I think it's more a matter of Pressure Sounds exercising better quality control on the material. While I don't agree with Funky Punk, I will say that there *are* a lot of weak tracks on the Lee Perry Pressure Sounds collections. Remember the number one rule of record collecting: *just because it's rare doesn't mean that it's good!* Rather than releasing all of these muddy dub plates, I would rather see PS releasing only the very best of the dub plates and instead include more rare vocal tracks on these collections.

Just because it's rare doesn't mean that it's good - and sometimes things are 'rare and unreleased' for a good reason...
