2 Disc set with the second disc being the straight dub crossover of disc one. I'm reallly hooked on the dub set on disc 2 rather than the original vocal chant performance of Manchester, England's own Dillinger. This seems to be some sort of value pack offering from "Classic Reggae" by Secret Records in 2007. This set is produced by Niney the Observer and you can tell, the production work on the dub tracks is excellent. There are 14 tracks on each disc, I tend to favor the dub CD and my favorites on that one are: #5 (My Dub Leads the Way), #9 (Dub Jamboree), #13 (Foreign Dub), and #11 (Hurry Dub) which is a pretty tough "Stir It Up" version. The Bass is a clean and heavy as lead. This is great for the ride or the sound system. A lot of familiar beats including the stir it up version. Credits indicate this material was recorded at Channel One, Tuf Gun, and Joe Gibbs and engineered by the legendary Scientist & Errol Thompson. All tracks are backed by the Soul Syndicate band featuring Sly & Robbbie. Although I mainly talk about the dub set, some of the disc 1 vocal have killer lyrics. The best of CD 1 tracks are #2 (My Address) and # 5 (My Sound a Boom). You should be able to score this disc on the used internet market for less than $10 USD.

Dread at the Controls Dub : Gussie Clarke : The Revolutionaries
This is an original LP released on Gussie label back in 1978, my CD copy by Auralux and Gussie in from 2007. This is classic roots but with very little vocal interruptions. - tracks total 10. 5 listed as side A and the second 5 as side B. Not to be confused with Mikey Dread's "Dread at the Controls". My favorite tracks on this one are : #2 (Michael Campbell Theme), #4 (Mixed Up Stuff), and #9 (Midnight Clappers). This whole set is full of nice clean solid bass with new tracks and rhythms that I've never heard. Gussie adds the triangle and various percussion instruments reminding me of the style of classic dub album, "Macca Rootsman Dub" also by The Revolutionaries. The booklet has some nice notes by David Katz on the story of Gussie and his role in the growing Jamaican reggae sound wave emanating from the island. The last couple pages of the booklet notes get in to this specific album and explains more about certain selected tracks. Overall, this is a great selection to help highlight the dubwise section, of your collection.
