The story of DUB part 2 - Rubbin' the Dub

Gamla reggaeartiklar är ganska kul. Jag gillar känslan av att läsa något som skildrade händelser medan de fortfarande var aktuella eller i vissa avseendet rent utav medan de hände! Den här artikeln skrevs av Black Echoes Snoopy och är den andra delen av sex som skildrar dub -- det kanske viktigaste bidraget reggae har gett musikvärlden. Artikeln är i sig uppdelad i två delar; första delen är en sammanfattning av de 125 bästa dubsläppen fram till tryckdatumet (16:e Juli, 1977) och andra delen en reflektion över lite album och dubbare. Jag postar första delen nu och andra delen när jag orkar transkribera färdigt den.

Hur många av dessa album har du? Idag firar dessutom New Romantics blogg otroliga 100 inlägg! En fjärt i rymden mot vad kommer att ha presenterat här om tjugo år! Enjoy!

The story of DUB part 2
Rubbin' the Dub

(skrivet av Snoopy i Black Echoes, artikeln publicerad 16 juli, 1977)

As Research has gone on, SNOOPY has decided to extend his survey of Dub into a six part series. This is the second instalment in which he includes the most comprehensive list of Dub albums ever produced.

RESEARCH FOR this section of the article was the most difficult. The amount of Dub Albums (despite the lengthy research) is still virtually impossible to assess -- since mostly, the large proportion of recorded work is only available in Jamaica.

But through various reliable resources, the remote collection gradually increased -- and the result is a fairly comprehensive list of albums. Some vocal albums which also contain dub-trax have been included in the list, as many of these albums often contain dreader-dread sounds.

It was decided that it would be best to list the albums in some order of merit; hence, less esoteric Dub Freaks would be able to consult the compilation for purchase reference.

The task of selecting the 20 Best Dub Albums was a long, carefully co-ordinated, complicated and often tedious job: but after some eight months of arranging, re-arranging, re-mixing and shuffling -- the end result is there for you to see. The coices are somewhat inevitable, with King Tubby featuring quite a bit in the list. And whilst capturing the essence of Dub music, and spotlighting its appeal, the Top 20 also includes a grand variety of good Reggae music -- including such varied types as Pablodic Rockers, Rock-Steady, Channel One, Instrudub, Agrovators Muzik, Mighty Two Sound-Warps, Strictly Rockers Dub, and maniac, Super Ape soundz.

All are highly recommended as essential additions to your Reggae collection -- the Top 10 at least -- and will indisputably delight and please you. So, for you edification...

Har faktiskt inte sett Dub Echoes. Men av vad jag har förstått ska den vara ganska bra.

Pressure Sounds har släppt två överfeta dubplattor i år (återutgivningar). Dels purfärska King Tubby & The Clancy Eccles All Stars med Sound System International, dels Tommy McCook & The Supersonics med Pleasure Dub.



Rekommenderas varmt för alla med kärlek till dub.

Tubby & Eccles gillar jag som tusan. Var inte så superimponerad av Pleasure Dub när den kom på reissue dock så den har jag inte beställt.
