agreed.. but if you're looking for more quality tubby's and pablo i would recommend dub jackpot (attack), king tubby's special (trojan), king tubby's meets rockers in a fire house (pablo / yard) and aquarius (pablo / aquarius)

rockers uptown was recently reissued on clocktower N.Y.. but, as is always the case for clocktower, they used low quality, hissy masters and the pressing is awful.. better to find an original jamican pressing. <waves> Subconscious Geography http://www.sub-con-geo.demon.co.uk +/sale +/cdr

I have this, and couldnt work out if the wobbly recording, particularly on the second side is like that on all the Clocktower pressings of this album. It goes out of tune big style to me, or am I hearing things?? __ |¬¬ The Cosmic Crofter crofter@ehx.ednet.co.uk - http://www.ednet.co.uk/~ehx

Oh dear oh dear !!! Are we starting that out of tune story again :-) I haven't heard this particular release, so no comments, but I bet you are right and your ears are not deceiving you. Speaking of which (here I go) I have to say that I'm totally in love with Strangebrew's "Passports" but the ONLY vocal track on the album is completely out of tune. Surely, if you are going to get a guest vocalist in to sing on your one and only 'song' you may as well choose somebody who can hold the tune ? I *
