You should listen too all music and find out for yourself.

What one person considers crap someone else will like and vice versa.

Its all about peoples preferences and lets be honest their is much diversity in reggae music

You are talking Augustus Pablo, right? Many Sundays smoking and smiling to the melodica poet.

How about Dub Basket on Cactus?

I found a cheap, clean copy at a flea market a couple of days ago. I had a good feeling about it, knowing that it's rare and also a Tubby's mix.
But was hugely disappointed. I think it's just very boring and uninspired. Like 80% of it is nothing but drums. Why are people paying so much for this terd (see Popsike)?

Dub basket is an absolutely terrible album, no riddim, no echo, no bass, a typical cactus crappy release indeed. What do you mean see popsike?Turd is spelled turd by the way...

I listen to Dub Basket Chapter 2 Rupie Edwards All stars and mix by Tubby a nice dub album.

And Chapter One is also a nice dub album.

I hear Drums/Bass and king Tubby in the mix.

i tried an album called SCIENTIST DUB FROM THE GHETTO and i wasnt too impressed by it at all, largely due to the fact that it had some tracks on it that have been repeated endlessly for decades on countless dub compilations. great if youre new to dub, but for most people on this forum, pretty sad and very weak that a label has to resort to trying to con real dubheads out of cash, for utter cack
