I have seen for sale the following dub albums, all of which are on the Wackies label, but I am not familiar with any of them. They are

Dub Unlimited, Bullwackie Allstars - 1976
Creation Dub - 1977
African Roots Act 1 - 1979
African Roots Act 2 - 1982
African Roots Act 3 - 1983
Natures Dub - 1982
Jamaica Super Dub - 1983.

Can anyone tell me which, if any, of these albums are worth picking up. Are they crucial, killer, good etc.

Respect and Thanks

Dave

i understand why you became crazy about wackies dub;iam not that much aqcainted with all of them but i first came across the african roots part2 and was really crazy about it and i was gonna suggest you to pick it up

Creation Dub is excellent, don't miss it.

Does anybody know that act 4? Is it as good as the others?

African Roots act 1 & 3 (strictly dubwise) are crucials but the 2nd, 4th, 5th, and 6th are good too !! . A lot of production from the wackies are crucials, like few albums of the Love Joys for exemple....
