"Most highly recommended. This is one of the best re-mastering jobs I have heard -- fantastic. Plus the packaging is top-class work. 2 Cd set includes 2 original King Tubby dub releases -- two of his earliest efforts. The re-issue label has very wisely given each original LP a Cd of its own. And both these albums deserve the treatment, they are fantastic examples of dub as a form of sound sculputre as pioneered by King Tubby. The man was a true artist! Nifty fold-out glossy cardboard CD package reproduces the front cover of each LP. At the economy price this is available for, consider it a gift. Listen with headphones if you really want to blow your mind. Should be required listening for all DJ's and those interested in the art of mixing sound. Essential, essential, ESSENTIAL !!"

"This is an excellent reissue of two of King Tubby's earliest and most influential albums - Dub From the Roots and The Roots of Dub. Both are produced by Bunny Lee, and both feature great mixing work by the King.The remastering and packaging are excellent as well. If you want to know the work of King Tubby, I would suggest this, along with King Tubby Meets the Rockers Uptown, and Freedom Sounds in Dub, as the core of a King Tubby collection."
