I doubt it exists. Never heard of a fellow Dub collector to own or even seen a copy.

" I won't compromise .... " Keith Hudson's " Brand " is playing today . A bouncy little number where the vocal snatches in the mix complement the percussion led dubs . Niceness ...

Had a very disappointing day today with some 'tings so right now I'm listening to Dub Landing Vol. 1 and enjoying myself. Linval had some incredible productions back then. Scientist gives them a heavy mix as well.

Another Revolutionaries' Sunday , this week being " Reaction In Dub " on Cha Cha from 1978 . Am amazed at the quality of the press of this one ! Content is nice and fresh too :)

A CD again this week , as my vinyl copy is atrocious ! And it's Force of Music with " Freedom Fighter Dub " from 1978 . Good rhythm album , as opposed to "deep" dub . Personal standout track - " Pagan Front Dub "

Trying to place the rhythms from Mikey Dread's Dub Catalogue. Some of them are incredibly heavy but I don't know of the vocals. There's only two left I have yet to place.

The ones called Demo Dub and Queen Dub (it seems to be mixed with the titles on the LP):

Demo Dub is one of the dubs on the album I rate the highest. Been playing the mp3 in my earphones many late night walks and the dub controls me.

If anyone knows!

Kalcidis, I think Queen Dub is the same riddim as "Mr DJ" by Earl Sixteen.

Today I'm listening to Dr. Alimantado - In The Mix pt. 2. A quite nice dub set. The mixing can be a bit too gimmicky with vocal samples and at times annoyingly in your face. Like an exaggerated Mad Professor. But it does have some gems.

Anyone that knows what the original vocal is Mixing Up A Dub Storm? There's a long vocal part in the beginning where he sings that Rastafari is the vessel and we'll smile at the storm or something similar. Very nice mid 80's rhythm.
