Version Dread

Before there was Dub, there was Version. On the flip side of Jamaican singles were instrumental versions of the A side. At first they were called Versions - mostly the music with snatches of vocals, often used a capella. These flip sides became as important as the vocal release and soon a new phenomenon known as Dub was born. This record collects 18 of some of the most sought after B-Sides taken from Studio One 45s released between the years of 1966 to 1982. All tracks previously unreleased on CD or album.
