haha, some of them are the most appalling pressings ever though!

I forgot to mention the 2 Burning Spear Studio 1 albums - those are amazing.

WHO KNOW'S ABOUT SOUNDCLASHES

They are probably my favourite type of dubadub.

Mighty Crown Vs. Black Kat

Killamanjaro Vs. Black Kat.

I could go on..& on & on.

If you want some, holla.

what's the sound quality like? I picked up a few of various sites but all been pretty poor recordings..

vonboyage · Post by **vonboyage** » Mon Jan 14, 2008 12:24 pm

As good as soundclashes get i suppose.

I mean, apart from the obscene shoutings of "suk unu mooma"

which distort the mic...

& crackly plates.

its pretty good qual indeed!
