Variations of Creation Dub.. Bullwackies?

Post by dubwizer »

I'm kinda confused. I've the Creation Dub Lp https://www.discogs.com/Bullwackies-All ... se/2596229
but on YouTube this version https://www.discogs.com/Bullwackies-All ... ase/254238 which is supposed to be a reissue, sounds completely different.
Are they completely different albums or is mine mislabeled?
Thanks

There are two versions of Creation Dub. The version you have (with the street-side cover art and Wackies lion label) was likely released around '86 and has not been reissued. The earlier Creation Dub lp on City Line label was released around '77 and that is the version available on reissue. You have to wonder about the reasoning behind the 80's Creation Dub. Maybe Wackies had bundles of unused alternate Creation Dub sleeves from the 70's and decided to put them to good use.

For anyone interested in the 80's Creation Dub, you can hear some samples here: http://www.deadlydragonsound.com/v3_rec ... p?id=42760#

Sounds like an interesting lp, if not exactly essential.

Thanks Billy Boom. No wonder the tracks sounded modern.

It's annoying that they even used the same title track by track.
So everybody assumes it's the same record.
