On the one hand, anyone could be forgiven for wondering if yet one more collection of dub mixes by the late, great King Tubby is really needed. It's not like his stuff is hard to find. On the other hand, anyone could be forgiven for smacking someone in the head who asks such a fool question and shrieking "Of course it is!" It's not like it's possible to get too much Tubby. Universally regarded as the greatest of the first-generation dub producers, King Tubby was a true virtuoso of the mixing desk, a man who made it his business to know everything there was to know about sound manipulation, and who applied his knowledge with a combination of musical taste and sonic adventurousness that has yet to be matched. 100% of Dub is not necessarily head-and-shoulders above the best of its competition (most notably the exquisite collections released on the Blood & Fire label in the mid-'90s), but it certainly can stand with the best of them. Notable tracks here include "Real Gone Crazy Dub" (a remixed DJ cut of Johnny Clarke's rendition of "Crazy Baldheads"), the brilliant "Stalawatt Dub," and "Declaration of Dub," which takes the Abyssinians' classic "Declaration of Rights" and runs it through the patented King Tubby wringer, drawing out individual instrumental parts and leaving wisps of the vocal track floating around in the background. Highly recommended. ~ Rick Anderson, Rovi
