Had a buddy in the 80s, laid off from the oil fields. Mostly he listened to jazz. He got stoned a lot but small amounts at a time, but on the day his check came he would buy an ounce and a big new pile of this stuff on cassette and just roll all of it up into like 20 joints and smoke it all for the entire day with dub and reggae playing the whole time. It was a twice a month ritual for him.

This is a sound from my youth in England. These sounds are the closest to heaven on earth.

My brother and I had a mushroom trip last night whilst listening to this mix. It was incredible! Funnily enough, while listening, we noticed one of my amplifiers was experiencing issues, and just as Tubby is maintaining his kit in the photo, my brother and I were doing the same. Peaceful, wholesome, and invigorating. Thank you for the time and effort that went into this mix/upload!

Everybody should experience the joy of walking down their main street at least once with this playing...you will feel like a king.

I can live without computers and all this fucking digital mess, but, I need my analog music, synthesizers and the way shit used to be... peace and love always....

I'm a white londoner loved the 7os 80s. Jamaicans brought us the best music ever life was tough then. One love ❤️

Beautiful dub plates. Grew up in late 70s London on a diet of punk, ska and dub.

Thanks for the incredible memories.

[LockedPig]

This compilation is 100% treasure.
Heavy and trippy.

[davidmccann]

Reminds me of the early 80s on my estate in London. There was always someone having a dance at their flat and playing dub late into the night.

[ianegfp]

The flute is so poignantly sweet in this. And the drums have wonderful, vibrant and surprising melodies. It is a pity the bass line has become so predictable in music nowadays, as if it is on automatic repeat. Thank you GazeMeShoes, for putting these pieces of musical history up so that we can all continue to enjoy them!

[DJGG]

13 people need to loosen up and smoke a couple of spliffs. Great mix.

[enkimerlin]

DUB....everything amazing can trace its roots to these beautiful vibes...we missed out on this in the USA unless your parents we from the Islands or you lived in such a neighborhood.
