Time Will Tell Dub Version

[Gar]

I have an old cassette with a dub version of Marley's Time Will Tell, and am trying to figure out where it came from. It is not the one on Kaya Dub by I think the Aggrovators, nor is it Drums of Africa by Prince Jammy and the Aggrovators. It is very heavy on the reverb and echo, especially towards the start of the song (40 seconds in on my incomplete recording of a 5 min clip), where it does a slow, sparce, dubby instrumental break. Does have what sounds like Marley singing most of the lyrics throughout the song. Any one have any ideas who did this. Or suggestions of other great dub versions of the same song?

could be a dubplate cut. Especially coz you say it's very heavy on reverb and echo.

or leaked/unfinished studio demo (there are many..)

Thanks for the suggestions. Unfortunately none of them are quite right. I think the version I have is too polished to be a demo. The closest I have found is the Binghi Version. That one has the correct slow dub instrumental break at the start, however all the example of that version that I could find are too short (about 2:15 min). Does anyone know of a 5 min long binghi version of Time Will Tell? Or maybe the DJ on the radio that day just improvised his own extended version?

think this is the remixed version from the 'Countryman' film...have it somewhere, can't remember if the same version was released on the soundtrack

Yes that does seem to be the same as the "binghi version." I guess that is where it comes from. However it is still only 2:15 min long. What I seem to have is a radio dj playing that version and then fading in a longer dub version of the same song, perhaps the dub version from Kaya Dub, although I have not been able to find a copy of that to compare it to. The DJ comes on right as the binghi version is finishing and says "rastafari" in a Jamaican accent, then fades up the other version. I guess he just said that so as to cover the switch. Now all I need to do is find that Kaya Dub version and recreate it, minus the 30 years of accumulated tape hiss. Thanks for all the suggestions.

I did try it, and liked it. Just not sure if that is the same as on Kaya Dub, which I suspect includes some vocals. Such a great song it's real hard to mess up.
