The dubs I enjoy most have the full dub effect with dubbed vocals as well as instruments. I just wanted to see what your favorite dub albums are with great dub action on vocals.

Scientist and Jammy strike back has long been a favourite of mine.There are some way out vocal snippets, Freddie McGregor`s Big Ship providing the basis for the very first track.The rough guide to dub is just great too,with many tracks containing vocal snippets.Try to check out Mikey Dread`s African anthem , theres been little to compare with it for me.Scientist heavyweight dub champion is splendid dub with fine vocal snippets too.Scientist wins world cup has brilliant lyrics too.Try checking out some Mad professor,have you tried a taste of caribbean technology?And why not Yellowman meets mad professor in a feast of yellow dub?Plenty of king yellow words there.Slum..Gregory Isaacs in dub, is great too

the dub versions on I Kong - The Way It Is are awesome - way better than the original songs imo, and they leave in a lot of the vocals.
just the first thing that came to mind because i listened to it earlier today, but there are thousands of dub albums that meet your criteria.

Some of my favourite dubbed vocals are Al Campbell tracks, one of the best is the dub to his song "Who's Gonna Bell the Cat" on the album Three the Hard Way, pure wickedness!

Thanks Lost Shoe! Had some of these on an old cassette - never knew titles or where they came from. I just downloaded the whole set...brilliant!

Hi Marcus, it's great I could give you some pleasure.
I know how nice it is to explore old beloved but unidentified music.
This record came out 1980. That was the time I bought it. And I still love it - just as 30 years ago. Great example of a blissful Wackie album!
