Huh? Explain...

I should've said reissue rather than re-release. I'm talking about this:

(also listed at http://www.amazon.co.uk/Kingdom-Dub-Sci ... B001GBUKF2)

Almost all (if not all) of the so called "plus 9 previously unreleased bonus tracks" tracks do not sound at all like Scientist's work and worse, I think 2 of the original LP tracks are mislabeled( i.e they don't correspond to the original cuts on the 1981 release).

Damn. I've been playing the hell out of that - and I never noticed!

I know that 'At The Controls Of Dub 1979-80' is fake as hell (very, very annoyed when I heard it) - but I literally never caught this...

'More Dangerous Dub' is obviously not Tubby - but I do actually like that record...

probably done by Jah Thomas. He did some more stuff that is credited to the roots radics, scientist or king tubby.

dito. Perfect background music for playing xbox. Wanna know who mixed it. Nicely done.

It's 16-track bizness, so it can't be Tubby's.

Given the vintage, you would have to lean towards Scientist or Solgie. To my ears it sounds like Soljie.
