Hi
I'd just like to know what is the original version of this great dub..
Is it the paragons ?
thnx

Hi takk,
if you're referring to 'Holligan Dub' from the album 'Sample Dub' then you are quite close to hit. The dub is taken from John Holt's 'Change your Style', a track which is connected to the Paragons in appearing on Studio One's 'Paragons & friends' album.
Greetings

THERE IS A HOOLIGAN DUB SANG BY WAILING SOULS FOR STUDIO ONE RIGHT? OR ISNT THERE?

There is 'Hooligan' by the Wailers, off course
recorded for Studio One, can be found on 'One Love' or 'Simmer down' on Heartbeat records.
Though this is a different story and nothing to do with the Wailing Souls.

'Hooligan Stew' by Junior Delgado (from 'Dance A Dub'). I remember some English band in the early 1980's who used the same riddim from this song - I think it was Ruts (Ruts DC).

'Hooligan' by Clement Dodd & Tyrone Evans (from 'Studio One Dub').

I UNDERSTAND ALL THAT BUT THE WAILING SOULS NOT THE WAILERS DIDNT THEY SING "HOOLIGAN" FOR STUDIO ONE CAUSE THERE IS 2 VERSIONS 1 WAS ON A 45' AND THE OTHER ON SQUARE DEAL.

Hi 'arize',
yep, track 'Hooligan Race' is on the 'Square Deal' album for Studio One by Wailing Souls. It is a re-do of an old (1981) song they did originally for Sly & Robbie's Taxi label.
