Cry tuff dub chapter 4

Scientist the space invaders one

I'm a big fan of Gavery's Ghost

King Tubby surrounded by the dreads at National Arena

Prince Jammy Strictly Dub (is it called that I can't remember)

The Iroy dub to musical shark attack us outstanding

Legendary skatalites in dub

Just a few that spring to mind without actually having my database open in front of me

Received today , 'Musical Dub Attack' - Revolutionaries, which after first listen will be my choice for favourite dub albums.

Sly's rim-shots just mashing up the place,!!!
This LP sounds wicked!

Yeah, Garvey's Ghost is brilliant. I forgot to mention Spear's Living Dub vol 2 as well.

What makes a good dub for you? For me the best ones are those with reverb and hypnotic bass lines.

My favourite dub of all is this

Depends upon my mood, but typically I like dub either when Scientist, Tubs or Jammy are doing something in the mix, and I'm thinking, "how the hell did they do that... how fast must their hands have been"

Other than that I love dub if it can reduce me into a coma of mellowness

Great picks

I'd forgotten about Termination Dub, which is quite simply one of the greatest dub compilations ever
