Check out some of the Blood & Fire - there's a good sampler and also The
Evolution of Dub at King Tubbys. Although if you've got $60 to drop the
History of Jamaican Music box set is very tasty. Jammyland in nyc has a
website that might be worth checking out. Totally Wired in Dub I still
play from time-to-time and you should be able to get it cheap somewhere.
Good AJ jumping off point I guess!
cheers mate, Jim
