*TEN ESSENTIAL DUB ALBUMS*

I've limited myself to one album per artist, which was difficult. (The single best overview of Tubby's work is the 2CD / 47 track "In Fine Style" anthology on Trojan.) I think I've managed to land a spectrum of essential dub, and I could recommend buying any of these recordings - even on blind faith.

*IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER*

1. Lee Perry - Blackboard Jungle Dub

2. Harry Mudie Meets King Tubby in Dub Conference

3. Keith Hudson - Pick A Dub

4. Scientist - Rids the World of the Evil Curse of the Vampires

5. Joe Gibbs - No Bones for the Dogs: Dubs from 1974-79

6. Errol Brown - Dub Over Dub: 27 Track Dub Extravaganza

7. Jimmy Radway - Dub I

8. Winston Riley - The Techniques in Dub

9. Creation Rebel - Starship Africa

10. Mikey Dread - African Anthem: Mikey Dread Show Dubwise

*I hope this reaches someone.*

Aquarius dub
Rockers almighty dub

Dear, Derek

Could you give more information about this album... ? Tell me more about this song called "Here I am baby" and by who is it?

Is this album same as "Return Of Wax"?

Thanks
