I have but I'm worried that if I list them I'll never shift them on eBay!!

very good point leggo rocker.and im trying to remember now just which of my dub albums is the worst...after all i sent 4 of the atrocious ones to the namgyal cafe in McLeod Ganj, India last year to add to their impressive dub collection, even though they will certainly have lowered the overall quality of their roots records....included was an awful Freddie McGregor release with shockingly weak and tinny dubs on it, every track was a nightmare to endure.

i think that the worst dub album youve got should be given to a charity shop..so at least youll do some good with it this way..

anyone out there heard a bad dub set lately?way back in the 90s greensleeves used to post me a catalogue and they used to say honestly "this is a very weak dub set"..refreshing honesty back then...

Fatman Riddim Section - Wagon of Dub is rather poor...

sean, that's funny that they used to say that about their own releases. I wonder what the artists thought about that.

yeah kukuman..you know, they used to sell many releases from other labels, not strictly their own stuff, youd get things like copasetic written on an lp youd buy from them ...still takes bravery to say some music is crap when youre selling it..well done them..

i wonder if greensleeves catalogue still has such honesty in it?

i mean nowadays, all music is pretending to be the best , the very best, even when its utter tripe

raiders dub is a very weak rockers records release, allegedly a pablo, but its fairly godawful in my opinion...
