Good backgrounder

"If you're looking for a good backgrounder in dub, then this is a pretty good place to start. There are a lot of traditional names here, providing any person new to the music with a solid foundation for future listening. The only problem I have is that even though Mick Hucknall is a really into dub and cites King Tubby as worthy of a statue next to Bob Marley, there should have been a little more variety to the cd. There is a lot of King Tubby here and some of his proteges, like Jammy, so you kind of get stuck in one style when a CD like this is supposed to cover a lot of bases. Anyway, a good listen and with 19 tracks, worth the cash."
