100 Years Of Dubs, A Must-Have for Reggae Enthusiasts

Joe Gibbs And The Professionals – 100 Years Of Dubs (Doctor Bird, 2023)

Joe Gibbs and The Professionals’ latest release, 100 Years Of Dubs on Doctor Bird, is a fascinating musical journey that transports you straight to the heart of Jamaica from 1975 to 1978. This album is nothing short of essential, as it encapsulates the very essence of Joe Gibbs’ dub mastery during this remarkable period.

In the mid-70s, the dynamic duo of Joe Gibbs and Errol Thompson forged an unparalleled partnership, unleashing a torrent of reggae hits that presented the finest of Jamaica’s musical talents. Their vocal productions rightly earned universal acclaim, but what often remains unsung is the remarkable quality of their dub mixes from that era.

100 Years Of Dubs, a remarkable double set that rectifies this oversight, brings together 48 of their finest dub creations from the golden years of reggae, spanning from 1975 to 1978. This collection is not just a compilation; it’s a testament to the genius of Joe Gibbs and Errol Thompson.

Whether you choose to enjoy it as a standalone set or alongside the recently released ‘Joe Gibbs 1970s Dub Albums Collection,’ this album features essential mixes of some of the era’s most iconic Jamaican hits. With a third of the tracks being brand new to CD, it’s a treasure trove for all aficionados of classic, high-quality dub sounds.
