  • King Tubby's Dub Masterpiece

    5 out of 5 stars
    ndoogjayaApril 2, 2024United KingdomπŸ‡¬πŸ‡§

    Absolutely fantastic album, and supposedly one of the rare ones from the late 70s or early 80s that King Tubby actually mixed himself, not just given credit for. Some amazing early 80s riddims here. My personal favorite is track A2 Tad's Special. It's an incredible dub workout based on the melody of Nini Rosso's Il Silenzio - seriously... (Or The Wailers' Burial, which, if you're more familiar with that, was actually a rip-off of Nini Rosso's tune anyway). But every single track is a winner. No way I'm parting with my copy. (Update: I just went and sold my copy :-) LOL )
