Imagine Wanted Dread & Alive in Dub?

I believe dub masters like King Tubby/Scientist/King Jammy/ET or someone giving it a golden touch.

I know there are some few dubs of Peter Tosh oud deh, but the above album would have been great with one.

Yeah that would be cool, some great songs on that album

Robbie told me they had mixed dub versions for all of the songs on this album, and on all Peter Tosh albums he was involved in. He has no idea where those mixes are, unfortunately...

Wanted Dread And Alive? I thought that album was mostly terrible (apart from a couple of songs), to be honest.

Thought that's just my opinion - and I'm entitled to be wrong...

Only track on it I never really liked was "Nothing But Love"

Agggghhh I wonder who has those tapes going moldy in their Kingston basement/attic

It kills me to think of all the reggae out there that's never been released and is slowly dying in the Kingston humidity

Tosh's later albums always sounded too over-produced for my liking. Kind of had this commercial 80s sheen to them that's hard to describe but I know it if I hear it. I really liked Mystic Man, but after that, nothing really.

In Bunny Lee's tape archive/garage/tool shed, you mean?
