think they are on greensleeves, hope they make a better job on the DB tracks than they did on VP's recent singles anthology the Joe gibbs tracks sounded pretty awfull.like so many on VP's DB 12" collection
nick

I agree Nickfa... Vp did a terrible job on those 12" collections. Very sad and strange how many collections featuring Joe Gibbs Vp has put out since he passed but none while he was alive? Vp really is not a top notch label/company at all... (this is just my subjective opinion based on 95% of their catalog being rubbish)...

the same shit being put together in different.no wonder sales of reggae these days going down...

in all fairness the 12" disco mixes were pretty good,and the barrington levy one was excellent, but the jacob miller one had a few funny sounding tracks which was strange as the same tracks were released on jgm cd and were fine.The dennis brown one was pretty bad.
like i say these new releases are greensleeves who have made a good job of the jammy 2cd set and their evolution of dub series.

Thanks, Kevin!

About the Culture set:
On CD 4, there´s a track called Informer - what is this?
Also, are She Want Money and Wah Gwan really Joe Gibbs productions?
(They were bonus tracks on Shanachie´s Baldhead Bridge CD,
but doesn´t really fit productionwise imo)

@blackarkrock - It might be "Informer Version," a dub of the Heavy Rock riddim on Culture's "See Them a Come."

informer ,was released on heavy duty label ,credited to prince mohammed, but its Joeseph Hill doing a DJ type talk over over see them acome informer version was the dub on the b side.
