Re: Lee "Scratch" Perry interview quote on edp



loopaz,

yeah! definitely into dubby stuffs lately...
if anybody can point me in the direction of ACTUAL album titles that 
they think are worth checkin' out, please tell me!  off list if ya 
think that's the way to go...

my searches have led me to just a few records...starting slow and 
don't want to experiment with my money in that genre...it's chock 
full of artists i don't know anything about.  it's like if you were a 
newbie to Jazz, had some inkling of the sound you liked and didn't 
have anybody to resource for information...where would you start? 
whew...

that's me with dub for the last year.  itchin' to listen/buy da 
really good stuff and skip some of the crap.

recent purchases...

King Tubby and Errol Thompson - The Black Foundation in 
DUB....fantastic, i LOVE this record.

King Tubby meets uptown Rockers - considered a classic, from what 
i've heard.  like this one very much, too!

also bought a Lee Perry album, forgot the title...him playing with a 
couple o' white guys... crappy, imho.

anybody have suggestions?  i'm more familiar with the new school dub 
stuffs, ala kruder/dorfmeister, thievery, etc... so any help with old 
school jamaican stuff would be tops!

thanks in advance,

rich
