[Babar]

Yes.

These three album should be a formidable starting package.

[Nick Ink]

Thanks men! I listened to The Congos last night - great stuff.

[Trousers and Pat]

I have to recommend Flesh of my Skin, Blood of my Blood by Keith Hudson too

it's pretty song-based, so I don't know if this is the straight-up-heavy-dub-all-the-way-through thing you may be looking for but damn I love this album

[Trousers and Pat]

Dub sundays!

Augustus Pablo's El Rocker's LP was the one that opened the door for me. No vocals.

[Nick Ink]

Thanks again - I'm onto a few of these leads.

But I must admit, I got sidetracked and it turned into a Bob Marley & The Wailers Sunday - vCatch A Fire,  Burnin' and Rastaman Vibration.

I'll second the Yabby You rec and add Prince Far I to the list.  I've been meaning to pick up Heart Of The Congos for years.  I should really get on that.

[G.C.R]

And Niney the Observer.

I would push Burning Spear's Garvey's Ghost, the dub versions of the song-based Marcus Garvey.
