Episode 16 - Dub Originators (pt 1)




As I mentioned, I love dub.  The creativity involved is amazing, and it puts complete control in the mixer/engineer/producer.  Taking someone else’s completed work and using the mixing console as an instrument to create something completely new.  Because of the lax copyright laws at the time, and the tendency for producers to put their name on the Dub versions, I did my best to portray an accurate track list below.
