This review is from: Dub Like Dirt (1975-77) (Audio CD)

I have been a huge roots dubhead for years and own literally hundreds of cds. And let me just say that the other reviews are way off when they say 'this ain't one of Tubbs best'. This blood & fire cd (one of the best re-issuer of classic roots and dub) is top-ranking, to say the least. It is loaded with numerous unforgettable dub classics- especially the Horace Andy dubs, Burning Spear dub, and the johnny Clarke ones, but seriously all these tracks are great. I really just wanted to give some people a heads up to let you know that this cd is certainly worth getting. Forget what the other reviews say, this one's well worth the pay. 5 stars no question!

5.0 out of 5 stars How you like your dub?, September 9, 2000

flowism (new york city) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Dub Like Dirt (1975-77) (Audio CD)

I prefer a dub record to have a hint of the songs that were dubbed. "right over there, right over there--ites green and gold is the rainbow.."--Johnny Clark makes an appearance, then abrubtly disappears mid-word (in a shower of reverb), then comes back again a few moments later. Etcetera. Cornell Campbell and Horace Andy are also featured. Roots. Tubby was a bad man.

I am of course writing of my own preference, so if you like your dub to be vocals-free, dont spend your money on this. If you are like me, you will be pleased.

5.0 out of 5 stars shaka bong from russia is tripping!, August 16, 2000

This is yet another classic to add to your reggae collection, to dismiss this cd is reckless and shows a complete ignorance of reggae. King Tubby is a genius, once one recognizes the subtleties of his style, suddenly ever track becomes essential. Be not mis-lead by those who choose to knock down as opposed to uplift (see Shaka Bong from Russia).
