Fine for Dub Beginner but nothing special

"Okay set, but just adds up to about 2 full CD's of music, so unless you get a great price it is not a 'super-value'. There is a booklet with a very general essay on dub music, but otherwise there is a serious lack of info on the cuts. Sound quality is just okay -- you can do WAY better for a dub collection if you look elsewhere. Incidentally, many of these tracks were used by Bill Laswell for his Dub Massive Trojan re-mix sets."

If You want a nice intro to dub....and then some!!!!

"This was my second adventure with dub, my first official comp was Sly and Robbie in dub 1978-1985, and this was the collection that now 6 years later, I can say in its entirety, its one of the best classic dub collections out there. From my stoned perspective, every single track, just cleansed my brain....granted not a single song in this collection had Augustus Pablo, (Second Dub Box Set has him)but lots of Tubby, Scientist, & King Jammy, so I cant complain!!!! So If you have just got into reggae, and want to dive deeper...START HERE!!! Then If you like what u hear, move on and prepare to dive into the world of Dub...cause once you get hooked, it becomes addictive, and u want to try and own as much dub as possible!!!! Highly Recommended!!!!"

Great stuff

"Volume 1 of Trojan's dub sets does not disapoint. One reviewer said that these tracks were nothing special; I disagree. While the sound quality is a little old school, I haven't found one track that I don't like. I've listened to all 3 cd's numerous times, and I still enjoy hearing all of the fine dub melodies. For around 15 bucks, you really cannot beat this deal."
