I didn't enjoy that LP. Not good Hudson stuff. Maybe if you heard it first - as in before stuff like Brand or Entering the Dragon - you might like it. But hold it up to those really excellent earlier works Hudson works from the 70s and it isn't really very special at all. IMHO that is!

Yes, DOOP has great taste. Most of what he lists is simply awesome material.
Rebel Dub by Hudson? Bloody hell, I've just spent ten agonising minutes looking at the King of Dub's pages looking at all the super rare dub LPs I've never even seen for sale, let alone bought. And now you're telling me of another one!
Leggo,
I wasn't saying that Steaming Jungle is Hudson's best work, I just said is that Jungle is underrated, probably because of being released in 1982, during the dancehall era. Jungle was kind of oldfashioned album. All in all, not his best effort, but some songs are top-notch. I just simply enjoy it.
DOOP don't need no defendin' because I wasn't attacking him!
I just said that I hadn't been able to get into Steaming Jungle.
But then that's the problem with artists who produce really stunning stuff early on, they then have to constantly equal or even better that - and it ain't easy.
There are so many artists with great debuts followed by lots of mediocre stuff.
Sometimes I manage to kid myself that I have broken the back of the King Of Dub collection, just as you say you have.
I have a substantial part of that collection here also and a few look in better condition than his.
But then when I look closer I realise that the ones that are missing are SUPER-RARE and I am about as likely to get them as I am to get a night with Madonna.
