Which are the records you prefer the dubside to the vocal one ? Im certain there are gems that I may never find, simply cause the vocal side is not good enough for the riddim...

To name three...I would say....

Sis Erika - One in the Spirit (Rockers)
Tetrack - Lets get together (Rockers)
Ras Abrahi - Suffering Time (Seba)

Triston Palma "Bad Girl" on Freedom Sounds 7"- not that the vocal side is bad but the dub is great- raw sound with echo on the bass drum and phased cymbals almost playing a tune themselves.

Burning Spear - Garvey's Ghost

"Marcus Garvey" is, of course, an amazing album. But the reason i posted Gravey's Ghost as preferable is because I find that when I play the anniversary CD which contains both albums on the one disc, I usually skip the fist half of the disc and go straight to the dub...why I do this is, i think, is that the dub gives me the same raw, rootsy feel but with added intensity and variation...

Nice Topic Litelet!

Here are some dub versions I prefer to the vocal version. Some, if not all, of the tracks mentioned don't literally share the same 7" vinyl plate.

Dub/Vocal:

* Economic Dub - Lee Perry/Economic Crisis - Jackie Bernard (although I like both versions very much).

* Dub Line - Lee Perry/Guide Line - George Faith (both are very nice as well)

I know that I can think of some more, but I'll get back to it later.

Roots,
Jah Chicken
