Very true, its still nice to know what you're getting on a dub comp if possible
;)
I'd have to agree on the Scientist choice, but I prefer Scientist encounters
Pacman really heavyweight scientist sound. I'd also reccommend early studio one
compilations - Dub Specialist & even some older Treasure Isle in Dub titles (if
you can get em) The early rocksteady sound dubbed raw. Of Course you can't go
wrong with some Sly & Robbie w/ King Tubby...
