ITAL DUB on Wackies. I do not see the reason for the pricing on this one. does not move me in the least. Some tracks unlistenable. Feel free to trade with me if you are a die hard wackies fan.

"Three wise men" Dub LP on the JA "GG's" print. This one is so so weak imo.

I have just bought this Wackies dub album and it is killa!

The Wackies Rhythm Force - "African Roots Act 1" - http://www.roots-archives.com/release/1144

Probably only have 3 or 4 Wackies album so feel that I am fairly objective about the label.

Funny - I'm not a huge fan of Wackies Dub albums - although I agree the African Roots series is good.

For some reason though, when the dub forms part of a showcase album, it often seems to be excellent.

Lovers Rock JA Style - The Lovejoys
Dance Hall Style - Horace Andy

will give you a clue as to what I am talking about!

Hopefully not the worst dub album you will hear is Mighty Dub listen to it here:

There are some pretty good Wackies Dub albums.

Jamaican Super Dub
African Roots Act 1
Creation Dub
Prince Douglas - Dub Roots

Also their showcase albums are pretty good too ie Junior Delahaye , Jezreel 1 & 2.

Sean, you quote Wackies as "weak riddims, poor bass, ie weak , tinny, rubbishy drums, awful guitar".

Perhaps you should invest in some decent hi-fi :)
You`ll be amazed how good it can sound.
