A heavyweight collection of classic Jamaican dub drawing on recordings from the genre's golden era.

A heavyweight collection celebrating the golden age of Jamaican dub, this essential anthology brings together an all-star lineup of legendary artists and studio collectives who helped define the sound of roots reggae's most transformative era. Featuring The Revolutionaries, The Aggrovators, Niney & The Observers, Twelve Tribes of Israel, Ken Boothe, Gregory Isaacs, Jimmy Riley, and Phil Pratt, the set immerses listeners in deep, hypnotic basslines, spacious reverb, and the timeless studio alchemy that made dub an enduring art form.

Each track is steeped in the analog warmth and creative experimentation of Kingston's most revered studios, where pioneering engineers like King Tubby and producers such as Bunny Lee and Niney the Observer shaped a sound that continues to influence genres from hip-hop to electronic music. The collection functions both as a serious archival document of the roots reggae era and as an exhilarating listening experience for collectors, sound system operators, and anyone drawn to the mystique of vintage Jamaican rhythm craft.

This definitive CD edition includes a detailed booklet with sleeve notes, offering historical context and artist insights that illuminate the evolution of dub as a cultural and musical force. From the spiritual meditations of 'Jah's Children In Style' and 'Harmony Dub' to the heavy, spaced-out drive of 'Mafia Dub' and 'Hunting Man Dub,' every moment captures the essence of reggae's most creative period.
