Same scenario here Jonti...
Not my fave allbum in the world so I ditched it.
I actually nominated it for 'my least favorite dub album'.
Just seemed boring, maybe I missed something.

I quite like it, but I know what you mean. It sounds more like an electronic album that happens to have been produced by people with a reggae background. I wouldn't even class it as a dub album, really...

Indeed.

Some Cornerstone material I've owned (7"/ LP) tends to suffer.
Off center pressings have been my luck :(

My Emanuel 7" of "Three meals a day" Dennis Brown : the dub has got practically no bass sound, which is a shame cause it's a great dub mixing wise.
Hitbound 10" of "Far East" Barry Brown is very poor sound quality.

Also Burning Spear's "Marcus Garvey" LP on Burning Sounds is noisy all over.

As it was mentioned before, the Tony Tuff album is bad. My worst album. Musically top ranking style - what a bad surprise when I played it first time. I was scared sth. was wrong with my hi-fi :-)) Couldn´t imagine that bad quality....
