This helped establish dub as its own genre, turning versions into full artistic statements rather than throwaways.
Released in 1973, this collaboration between Perry and Tubby helped establish dub as a genre in its own right rather than a B-side afterthought. It marked a shift in how the music was heard: dub versions stopped being throwaways and started being treated as complete artistic statements, worth releasing at album length.
