    Review:
    The greatest dub album of all time. Very, very low tech, improvisational feel. Jack Ruby (and where the hell is he now?) caught the interior space feel of what dub could be as good as King Tubby at his best. I give it a '4+'. Play to make people converts to dub.

    Review:
    A stone cold classic dub to the Spear's second post-Studio One LP. Produced by Winston Rodney himse lf, the sound is considerably dreader than the previous dub set:"Garvey's Ghost".

    Review:
    Good roots album, solid. Winston's nasal voice is an all classic and world on any album or concert. At the Wild Hare in Chicago, Spear proved not to be studio but as authentic as it gets.

    11 This is one of the 10 best reggae album ever recorded. And I'm about to say the unthinkable, I c onsider this album to be of higher quality than 'Marcus Garvey'. This album is hypnotic. The music is slow and deep. The lyrics are almost religious and painted wit
