Hi Fashion Dub (One Step Beyond); Love Love (Higher Sight); Change A Dub (Can I Change My Mind); Dub You Can Feel (A Love I Can Feel); Rockers Hop (Jah Shakey) // Theme From Dub Room; Red Neck (Heptones) (Get In The Groove); Party Dub (Party Time); Come On Home (Won't You Come Home Now); Feel This Dub (Feel Good)

Second edition. No matrix number as such, but JAMAICA RECORDING HI FASHION DUB is scratched into the run-off groove. On this, and all subsequent editions, several tracks have been remixed. This is particular noticeable on Rockers Rock, where Roland Alphonso's saxaphone (from Jah Shakey) can be heard floating in and out of the mix. ((Click sleeve to enlarge.))

Probably the fouth of the dub albums to be released and certainly one of the most enjoyable. Four issues have been identified, available in (at least) six different sleeve variations. This is the first edition, with an FCD matrix number that denotes that it was mastered at Federal Records Limited. The sleeve is printed on textured 'crocodile-skin' card. Sleeve illustrations courtesy of Cyrille Fouques. ((Click sleeve to enlarge.))
