****DUB SERIAL**** aka ****MORE DUB****
VERY, VERY, VERY RARE ORIGINAL JAMAICAN PRESSED BLANK-LABELED DUB LP
According to several sources, the first dub LP released in 1972/1973. Although Blackboard Jungle Dub, Aquarius Dub, The Message Dubwise, etc. have all been considered as the "first dub LP" available for commercial release. This has been, and will always be, contested but...
Mastered by oft under rated studio engineer Errol "ET" Thompson and produced by Joel Gibson, this LP apparently cost $50 when released in the early 70's. So high a price, at the time, that only sound systems could afford it. Hence, the copy here has sound man markings both on both sides of the label and a majority of both sides of the sleeve.
Details- both sides have sound man markings Label- Joe Gibbs BLANK
LP- plays between VG and VG+ Side 1- more VG-VG+, first track being closer to VG and the other tracks closer to VG+ Side 2- more VG+
Track Listing- Side 1- 1. Satta Massa Gana version 2. More Dub version 1 (possibly, my favorite DUB) 3. More Dub version 2 (again, possibly, my favorite DUB) 4. Love Me Girl version 5. Turn Back The Hands of Time version 6. Money in My Pocket version
Side 2- 7. Rainy Night in Georgia version 8. God Bless The Children version 9. Love Jah Jah Children version 10. Without Love version 11. Be The One version 12. He Prayed version
Cover- both sides of the cover have sound man markings Side 1- lists tracks on the top half #1-6, some marked as "killer", some additional markings on the cover Side 2- lists tracks on the top half #7-12, 10-12 marked as ones to play for the sound system, 12 being the dub of Dennis Brown's "Money in My Pocket" (sound man markings seem reversed, but, who know's as its a blank-labeled LP)
****ORIGINAL PRESSING- INCREDIBLY RARE and NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND**** Not in perfect condition, but certainly collectible and would make an awesome addition to any LP collection, reggae or not
It is with great sadness that I need to part with it...
I'll ship within the US and internationally, buyer must pay insurance due to the rarity of the item. No returns, I am not a "record grader" but have been collecting and listening to dub LPs and reggae 45s for a long time.
This item has, in the past, sold from over $400 without a cover to almost $1,400 dollars with a cover. Accounting for the condition, I have started it at $399.50 and offer it at $850.50 "Buy It Now"
