Absolutely phenomenal compilation that comprehensively chronicles the first 8 years of Jamaican dub reggae music, circa 1973-81. "Trojan Presents Dub" has a near-flawless track listing which features pivotal material from all the key producers and performers of the time. Yes, nearly all of these tracks have been released on CD before, scattered over various compilations for the last ten years; but they haven't been assembled together as pleasingly as this in a long time, on an album which ranks as the finest retrospective overview of dub released in recent memory.
One of the fundamental reasons for this collection's success is due to its great depth of variety. There is a wonderful array of producers featured, with none represented any more favourably than another, creating a gratifying sphere of musical styles and textures; from the bright, early-reggae skank of The Eccles All Stars' "UPTOWN SHUFFLE DUB"; to the deep, steamy and mystical vibes in The Crystalites' "CONCENTRATION VERSION 3", Keith Hudson's "I'M ALRIGHT" and Augustus Pablo's "KING TUBBY MEETS THE ROCKERS UPTOWN".
There's gritty funk grooves in The Techniques' "STALAG 17" and Skin Flesh & Bones' "BUTTER FE FISH", as well as American soul influences - The Observers' "ONE TRAINLOAD OF DUB" adapts Al Green's "Love And Happiness" and Leslie Butler's "ASHANTI GANJA DUB" is a version of Sam Cooke's "Stand By Me"....

This is a great dub compilation from Trojan.40 brilliant dub tracks from various artists. The upsetters pop up three times, Augustus pablo's rockers uptown, and loads of killer tracks. The quality of sound is fine and there are loads of jamaican artists, so that if anyone has all of these tracks elsewhere, they must have one hell of a collection, or more accurately archive! This is cheap as chips and well, well worth the outlay. I am delighted with my copy.

This collection at under £4 is a mega steal! Out of 40 tracks, I fell completely in love with more than half of them. Yet I still like the rest of them. The difference being, those I love most gets repeated several times! In the past, I have had albums, especially reggae where one song on the album also apperas on the same album in dub version.
What I really loved about the collection is the different sounds unique per song that makes them truly dub! It is incredible really how these songs were done! The bass is emphasized, so with a good Home Theater, it will really hit you! Some songs have serious reverbs, and echos, that add some sort of oh ... what's the word ... ambience, to songs.
With this one, you cannot go wrong!
N/B
I really did not understand much why they call the version dub, but noticed that, the dub version is stripped of vocals, but may have short vocals here and there. I really loved these dub versions. After buying bthis one, I now see that actually dub songs do not nornmally have vocals and confirmed thast by a short search online. It turns out to be a style on its own. Good to finally know that dub is a subgenre (originating from reggae)

Even if you already own some of these on vinyl from the 1970's and 1980's, buying this double album from Trojan is a no-brainer. Means you don't have to bother converting your vinyl to MP3 or other digital format and fills gaps in your collection. A brilliant set of dubs to carry around with you on your personal music player and unbeatable at the price.

Very good compilation of reggae dubs from 1970's with a few tracks from the early 80's.Most of the best producers at the time are on this with a very good variation on style.High quality b sides to original hit a sides so the tune might be recognized but the mix is very different, as if the music has been put into a cave and then some. The invention of the remix.

A huge dollop of quality dubbings for few pennies. I've bought a few dub compilations in my time, and this is the best, and the best value.
