5.0 out of 5 stars A true classic every dub fan should have, July 29, 1999

I first heard the title track "King Tubby meets the rockers uptown" on a pal's compilation. I was searching for the album for 2 years all over Germany 'til I found it @amazon.com !!! Anyway, now that I own it I know what I have missed through these years. The title track I think gave good birth to today's Drum & Bass / Breakbeats music (just hear the drum rolls and the sound of the drums). This CD is a must-have for everyone who appreciates Reggae/Dub music. The most influential music up-to-date. Never has a music style had a greater impact on todays club and dance music. For me, Dub is perfectly it.

5.0 out of 5 stars the original, September 14, 2000

Without question the most important lp of dub stylings ever made. Mixing the amazing King Tubby's groundbreaking engineering style with the incredible simplicity of Pablo's melodica and the tight grooves of the Rockers was a match that Jah made on the 6th day prior to resting, rolling up some herb and smoking it on the 7th. If He wishes to hear dub on the 7th day, then Tubby et al would likely be His choice.

Dub was a very important movement that is still in full force in dance clubs from Kingston to all points across the globe. Whether in reggae clubs or in modern electronica (I spin electronica- drum n' bass, house, breakbeats, jungle, etc, and I ALWAYS mix in Tubby or "Scratch" Perry into my sets- ALWAYS... the fresh innovations of Dub, and this lp in particular, will keep the dancefloor moving.

A most important lp.. I and I love it. Praise be to Jah.

this is the one! If you get one dub album, get this one, if you want to get into dub, get this one, if you like dub, get this one, if you dont like dub, get this one. King Tubby at the controls, Augustus Pablo at the keys and melodica, the Rockers on the rhythms, it doesn't get any better than this. With plenty of minor key progressions (none of that 'happy' dub), floating vocals and horns, and rolling beats, this album is killer.
