    Did you get an OG copy or the somewhat recent repress?

    I'm curious how the repress sounds.

    Its a repress. Sounds good to me, I mean, none of these were beautifully recorded in the first place but the background is black and there's no over driven sound. Like a lot of dub represses, they seem to be mixed "hot" which I personally don't mind as it adds a sense of excitement to the recording. Obviously I'm no purist.

  2.  

    Any fans of dub? I have become somewhat obsessed in the last year. Nearly every record I've bought in the last 12 months has been dub or dub related. Mostly the classic 70's stuff, but also some Orb, Twilight Circus Dub Soundsystem, Meatbeat Manifesto and others of the more electronic variety.

     

    Recent pickups:

    Scientist - Scientist Rids the World of the Curse of the Vampires

    Augustus Pablo - Meets the Rockers Uptown

    Phil Pratt - Star Wars Dub

    Bad Brains - I and I in Dub

    Lee Perry & Upsetters - Return of the Super Ape

     

    I have Tappa Zukie - In Dub and Linton Kwesi Johnson - In Dub on the way currently.

     

    I admittedly hated all the dub remixes of the 80's and 90's for singles. And I was a casual at best reggae fan, but now my neighbors must think I am a weed salesman as all you hear coming from my place is dub.

  3. Question to those of you with sleeves. I want to do a half-sleeve and I am wondering how payment arrangements work when its something that will take a few sittings. Typically.

     

    I would guess that a total price is quoted and that an agreement of number of sittings is made and that the total amount divided by the number of sittings is brought in for each sitting. Is this right?

     

    I have asked and I get shitty answers or basically ignored. I'm not kicking tires, I want to know as it affects when I can facilitate this. As a single parent I have to be very careful with money and scheduling.
