In my opinion, you will not find a better use for 20 bucks than buying the album King Tubby's in Fine Style... Released in 2004 by Sanctuary/Trojan records, it is an impressive collection of dub versions produced by legendary dub pioneer King Tubby. Highlighted here are some of his more rare cuts along side some undisputed dub classics, such as King Tubby Meets The Rockers Uptown. This compilation includes versions he created for some of the most famous Jamaican producers of the 70's, including Niney The Observer and Lee Perry. One of my favorites, Black Panta is an amazing track from what is arguably considered the first dub LP, Upsetters 14 Dub Blackboard Jungle aka Blackboard Jungle Dub. And if that wasn't enough, it includes a good dub of the Stalag Riddim, which has been used on countless tracks over the years. If you want to know more about King Tubby, this is the best pace to start. The liner notes are good, and the sound quality is great.
Since Amazon doesn't have previews for this album, here is the itunes link for it... unfortunately they don't have the full album for sale.
