Kaya Dub vs Kaya Dub

Post by digitalJ »

I have these two vinyls
[cover=2403,2772]

and

[cover=2402,2772]

of The Agrovators Kaya Dub http://www.roots-archives.com/release/2772 and the only thing that's different is the labels and covers , but the tracks and track names are all the same.No problem here.
Now there's this other Attack CD also titled Kaya Dub by the Aggrovators,listed here http://www.roots-archives.com/release/5163
The CD has only SOME of the tracks (in fact ,a few) from the vinyl copy, everything else is different.
Am I the only one who finds this totally irritating that a re-release is given a title of an original vinyl and yet the tracks are totally different ,except for one or two? How about making some acknowledgement and mention that the reissue is different from the original press? In the case of this Kaya Dub cd reissue , a person who has never possessed the original Kaya Dub will rush to buy it only to be disappointed that some of killer tracks like Rub Up Dub ,Dunza Dub , A Dread Dub,etc are missing.

What's you take on this?

It's disgusting to say the least.Some form of acknowledgement would go a long way in "raising" the truth factor :)

I totally agree---having bought the new kaya dub i was extremely p*****d off to find out that it was exactly as you say only a couple of trax from the original --so where in the ether is the original and i ask again what happened to Count Shelley and Third World Records--? cos that if memory serves is where the original Kaya Dub came from.
