Apart from Bob Marley...

Post by Funky Punk »

...which reggae artist would you say has the most 'semi-official compilations of dubious legality and questionably authenticity' on the market?

I vote King Tubby. They seem to be slapping his name on any old collection of miscellaneous bargain basement (often crappy) dub these days. Or they credit something "recorded at King Tubby's Studio" as a King Tubby record.

Lee Perry, surely the Jimi Hendrix of the reggae world as far as scraping the barrel is concerned!

Heh, I'm sure that I've seen a dodgy compilation along the lines of 'King Tubby and Scientist meet Lee 'Scratch' Perry at Black Ark'... ;)
