@Aetas I just looked it up

The '79 fire was intentional?!
For purification apparently

I think ive come to the conclusion , after listening to these 2 super ape albums, that im going to need some more good dub album recomendations from anyone willing to offer.

At this point I think my collection only has a couple King Tubby, a couple Augustus Pablo and one Lee Perry.

What are the classic albums I need to be digging into (the kind of blue, take 5, sunday at the village vanguard of the dub world)

@Aetas @endo @J-IV or anyone else?

I'm new here and have no idea, but I'm also interested in the answer.

This one is interesting.

Definitely a rabbit hole.
Started on 7” B-Sides in the 70’. Full 12’’ from Jamaican producers in the late 70’ and 80’, who influenced a lot of genres and all this later dub to come.
Punk (Clash), PostPunk (Public Image Ltd.), Drum and Bass (Massive Attack). There was even Dub-Techno and more.
Two staples to me are Scientist who radiates until today and Mad Professor without DnB wouldn’t sound like it does.

As a “casual” citizen of the dub world, The Super Ape albums are pretty quintessential. Here are a handful more albums I’ve dabbled in and have recorded some memories over:
Yabby You - Beware Dub
Scientist - Dub War; Space Invaders; Heavy Metal Dub (contrary to the name, it is more heavy on the island vibe)
King Tubby - King at the Control (my intro to dub)
Linval Encounters Pac-Man
Jammy Prince - Dub Kamikaze (dub organ masterclass)

Thanks guys @Aetas @endo @J-IV
I plan on going down the dub rabbit hole.
It's a shame "jazz cigarettes" make my brain short circuit now that im a middle aged dad otherwise id have the perfect herbal compliment to this quest

I thought ya’ll were listening to dub as a way to celebrate Fcuk Harry Anslinger Day yesterday too aka 4/20. What a coincidence

[GraemeE]

@J-IV pure coincidence

I celebrated 420 by working my desk job, bath/bed time routine for the kids and finished the night by drinking 75% of a can of hard seltzer

Certified badass over here

[J-IV]

@GraemeE
75% is dastardly. Don’t tell me it was a tall can

The Congos - Heart of the Congos 1977

Thought about this …

"jazz cigarettes" situation of middle aged men, family, dub music and if there is something in it for all of them.

This 40th anniversary edition seems to have it.
Recorded at the Black Ark Studios in 1977, here presented in the modified version (Cows and sounds added by Perry) of 1978.
Can be easily played at day time and to the family.
Beginning with side four, the extra material from Lee “Scratch” Perry provides the Dub for the evening hours.

Sorry if I bothered someone, editing this post more than once.
Short chat with the founder of this thread made me realize, something is missing…

Glad about this green inner sleeves.
