Though I love the riddims on Dub Roots and even traded for an original copy way back, it's not one to shine Barnes' technical wizardry. More like a studio 1 dub album that way .

Here's my prospective album:

Itopia Creation and Message From Jah dubwise's
Betrayed 12" runout
Leroy Sibbles Now You're Gone version
Movie Show 12" dub
Look Over Yonder "Happy Dub" side
Leroy Sibbles This World 12" runout flute dub
Sugar Minott In The Ghetto 12" runout dub
and if I had to include dubs off the dub Lp's they's be High Times off Tribesman and Wackie Rock off Act 1

Nothing would come close.

I only need look behind me (save for the ones I didn't want). Yes, I'm a nerd.

Yes, Jordandance.

Wackies produced some great stuff, but there are some stinkers there in that list that went straight back into the 'for sale' box after a few listens!

Has anyone ever heard this:
[cover=3186,1620]

Is it that bad to be not reissued as previous 3 chapters???

I haven't heard this. But looking at the track listing, and seeing the songs that are dubbed there, I'd say it has a pretty good chance of being a killa!

Anyone know?

That's not a bad album. Not incredibly hard to find an original of that...at least here in North America it's not.
