iam not really into dub, but some weeks ago i was at a dub hangout and the soundsystem play a bunch of tunes i didnt knew. and then ... just if it was their usual style, they kicked a 5/4 dub version of take five, which finally made me go nuts. donnu the artist, but if anyone knows dub versions of take five... post them!
Don't know what you mean by dancehall, but you should check out the 6 disc Jammy's comps The Revenge of King Jammy's Super Power Allstars. All the classics = Sleng Teng, Punaany, Budy Bye, etc. Also comes in 12 or so volumes (Walboomers) as 12"s.
Let me hear you say whooooa, yeeeeeaaaah, whooa, yeaah, whooa, yeaah.
Dancehall riddims are changing. If you listen to a couple of years ago they're all fast and very digital. Now they're a bit more rootsy.
Its best to buy up the riddims you like and you can mix and match from the old and new.
Some of my favourites are:
Stalag Riddim - old classic Doctors Delight - a new one, got Tanya Stevens on it Hard Times - a new one, got I-Wayne on it Return riddim - from last year Jamrock - new, Damian Marley and very popular Joyride - older, got good Tanya Stevens and Lady Saw Summertime riddim - new-ish, great Sizzla cut Bandits - Early 90s but solid, Luciano rocks it Hot dis Year - older digital style, Dirtsman and Pinchers cuts on this are awesome.
All the dub selections suggested so far are good, there is a Japanese label called PK that puts out 10"s which are all worth the effort and there is also a very recent Prince Buster re-issue, not sure what label, which is a

Don't know what label pressed the reissue, but I'd wager you're taking about "The Message Dubwise" with a picture of Buster and BIg Youth outside Buster's Record Shack.

Thats the one! Its made up to look like a Jamacian pressing but the quality is too good. I'm thinking there may be a connection with Sounds of the Universe/ Soul Jazz - if only because thats the first place I'd noticed had copies.

I got the OG Buster press of it and do remember there being a distinct difference in sound quality when listening to it at a record store (OG has that seperated stereo thing a g'wan).
