Clocktower release are oke when Brad Osbourn was the owner of Clocktower label and recordshop.
All the orginal release sound better etc.
I am lucky to have alot of the orginal albums.
I have one or two abraham release and they sound crap it's a shame.
Even Linval Thompson tell me last saturday that
Abraham are bootlegs he never get a penny.

Hi Sean

I have the vinyl version of 'King Tubby & Scientist & Bunny Tom Tom - King Tubby Studio verses Channel One Studio' and think it is an excellent album - http://www.roots-archives.com/release/2615

Maybe it's been transferred onto CD badly.

Actually, the only bad dub album (in my view) I have is Sugar Minott's Ghetto-ology + Dub - http://www.roots-archives.com/release/367.

It's on CD and although the original vocal album is fine the dub cut is obviously (and badly) recorded from the original vinyl.

Update to this post;
As the saying goes "Once I was blind, but now I can see."!

@ 6anbatte,

there's a bootleg floating ( try dc++ ) on the internet from Augustus live at the Astoria Theatre ( 17-12-1989 with Junior Delgado )

It's a low quality tape deck recording, but perhaps interesting for you.

Hi EHP

I am interested. Have you heard it?

hi 6anbatte..i doubt its same one..this has tracks titled Straight to crucial bunny head ..ETC..i think its another album

the mad prof aint normally associated with fake albums...perrys name is more easily associated with fakes.no fault of perry himself i am sure.

I think those "whiny" intros are by Bunny Lee himself. Same style as Master of Ceremony Dub.
