Joe Gibbs and Majestic Dub

[Tropicana]

Please don't transfer to music until I get an answer. I REALLY want someone in the know to clear this up for me for once and for all.

This is the riddim that I always thought was Majestic Dub. It's one of my favourites.

I searched high and low for it and asked about it all over the place includin on here MANY times. I just couldn't find it until today.

Now I finally found it. It's called Ten Commandments. But now I am confused and I need an answer.


Okay someone who knows about dub please clear up my confusion. Look at this page:

There was a riddim I really love and to find it for YEARS. I thought it was called Majestic Dub but I discovered today it's &quot;Ten Commandments&quot;, a track on the Majestic Dub Album realeased by Joe Gibbs and Errol Thompson.






BUT there are a LOT of 45s by Joe Gibbs with the name Majestic Dub on them. I thought it was the label at first but apparently it isn't as sometimes the labels says Gibbs. sometimes it says Blue Moon and at times even Lazar BUT they aslo says Majestic Dub. So...my question is, what the heck is going on and can someone please explain it? I am totally .

No wonder I couldn't find the song. Also, who originally did 10 Commandments?

Well if it's a dub on an LP they can call it Anything Dub. (Isn't this track on the <span style="font-style: italic">State of Emergency</span> Joe Gibbs LP?

The original was sung by Johnnie Clarke, produced by Bunny Lee (King Tubby &amp; The aggravators) on the Bar Bell label called<span style="font-style: italic"> It's True</span>:

No matter baby, I'm far away
I'll write you a letter, every day

Dreaming dreams, it's so real
Can't stand this lonliness, that I feel

Oh baby it's bad, bad, bad,
Ths lonliness makes me mad

It's true, baby


The very first pre-release I ever bought, incidentally

Johnnie Clarke eh? I am a HUGE Johnnie Clarke fan but I never heard the original. But then, he has an ENORMOUS repetoire. I have to find it.
