Been listening to Treasure Dub Vol 2 a lot recently, really love it's old time sound and laid back "dub" feel, the dubbing is relaxed and used very sparsely, it's a great lp. I was suprised I could only find 4 Treasure Isle Dub LP's (Treasure Dub/Treasure Dub Vol one, Treasure Dub vol two, Pleasure dub, treasure Isle in Dub, was this all they released dub wise?
Treasure Dub Vol 2 is my favourite, can anybody recommend other similar lp's other than the above? with the same old time feel? I'm a bit stuck on that sound but I can't find anything much of it.
Thanks
Musitronics.

Re: Similar lp's to treasure Dub 2?
Studio one did a whole raft of Dub albums
Dub store special
Hi fashion Dub
Better Dub
Sample Dub
Bionic Dub
Mellow Sounds & systems (aka mellow dub)
Roots Dub
Ital Sounds & systems (aka Ital Dub)
Zodiac Dub
Juks incorpration (part 1 and 2)
I've got a few of the above and they have a (in my opinion) similar sound to the treasure isle dubs, perhaps not as warm and wooden sounding throughout, but certainly a similar rudimentary early dubbing technique and the warmth that goes with early reggae and rocksteady
there are two new releases that are compilations of the above albums
Studio One Dub Volume
and
Studio One Dub Volume 2
You'll find them much easier to get hold of than the items in my first list, they are compilations made up from various tracks from the albums above
Hope this helps a bit

Re: Similar lp's to treasure Dub 2?
So many great dub albums in the vein you mention, but these instantly come to mind
[cover=1961,2317]
[cover=3226,2120]
[cover=3678,3886]
[cover=6022,3457]
[cover=7431,5054]
Not all in a Treasure Isle style but all great albums with that early feel to them.

Not quite the same but still great early dub selections can be found on the Dub conference sets one through till three.

Re: Similar lp's to treasure Dub 2?
These are all really nice LP's, thanks (everyone) I haven't gotten to hear all of them yet but I'm almost there.
Congo B, Do you know if the version of Drunken sailor from Studio one Dub Vol 2 appeared on any of the earlier albums you mentioned? Was it only ever released on compilations or did it appear on any Freddy mcKay LP's?
I can only find the 10" version of this tune and it's not the same mix.
