hello!
i'm very much interested in the following categories of reggae/dub songs:
1.) fast "rub-a-dub" (early 80s dancehall) songs (such as "smiley culture - police officer");
2.) fast early dancehall songs, if such exist;
3.) fast dub songs from any time up to the beginning of the 90s,if they exist;
4.) any dub songs, where the very fast and tight percussion/drumming is caused by the heavy use of reverb (when the reverbed rhythms gets a feeling it's 2x, 3x or more times faster than it is), again, songs from up to early 90s, if they exist;
5.) dub songs such as in 4.) with the only exception that that reverbed "fastened" rhythm is looped, if they exist;
by "fast rhythm" i mean, technically, rhythm that is ranging from 140 bpm and above.
if you know any songs that fall into any of the categories described below, please name them.
thank you.

Re: fast rhythm
well, it had a recent Japanese Pirate/bootleg re-release..but the quality of it isn't very good (taken from old vinyl instead of mastertape..)
Some other suggestions:
Flag Smith - Natty Red
Junior Delgado - Ity tity Dub( the B side of an Yvonne's Special 12".. there are many many different cuts.. this one is for sure the baddest and also fastest...).

Re: fast rhythm
There are some fast 4 to the bar overdubs on the Studio 1 Juk's Inc album (I A See I and Garvey Ites if I remember right), also Mr Fix It (Winston Francis) is taken at a brisk tempo, haven't done a BPM count though. Anyway not as fast as those on the Boys Noize CD I've just been listening to, a bit like Robert Armani from 10 years ago, nothing to do with reggae though.
