Yes it's on the Spectrum label. The track list can be found on amazon.co.uk. In a review on this site someone mentions that 8 of the tracks also can be found on Raiders of the Lost Dub lp.

I bought it yesterday and at least half of the dubs were unknown to me.

wow, just listended to some up the samples - to me this sounds like one of the best reggae albums in the past 20 years and consequently it will be the first CDs I have bought in the past 20 years

Details taken from booklet.

Someone has worked hard to find some unusual dubs for this release. Very good.

I thought they missed a trick not putting Aswad's Gun Style dub on there (one of the best UK dubs surely?) instead of Dub Fire - but then remembered it wasn't Island - it was on CBS.

Does the booklet mention the mixers responsible? Would be nice if we get the info for every track who mixed it.

I have many of these tracks on the Mango Records CD 'Time Warp Dub Clash' old school vs. new school from '93, but for the cheap price & some of those rarer sides it does look tempting:/

Producers on some of the tracks are credited (but not all).

Shit! Okay, I'll still be able to enjoy the music very much even if I don't know who mixed what track.

Anyway... Cheers!
