Does anyone know about a double LP produced by Herman Chin Loy in the early 80's that came with a dub version as one of the records? The artists on the LP were George Nooks, Linval Thompson, General Plough, Johnny Clark, and Richie Mac I believe. I picked it up at Aquarius in Jamaica in 1985 from Herman himself. I was wondering if it ever saw the light of day. It has some really good roots music in the very best dance hall style of that time. It's on the Music & Ism label. I have a feeling it never saw a big release and had a limited circulation.

I've seen it a couple of times. I've bid on all of the auctions but never got it (or them as they're often sold separately). There's also a wicked Richie Mac LP on that label with a companion dub LP (which seems incredibly rare though).

This is quite strange.
I have two albums, labelled as 'Aquarius Dub' # 3 and # 4. They are w/o cover, the label is Musicism and the Dub tracks are handwritten on them.
Are these the records you are talking about?
