Bob Marley & The Wailers - The Dub Sessions 1972 - 1980


Bob Marley And The Wailers are the creators of some of the greatest Reggae music ever made. Hits like "No Woman No Cry", "Is This Love", "Jamming", "One Love" and "Three Little Birds" are known the world over but what is rarely heard is the dub versions to these tracks.

Only recently with the remastered series and various box sets and re-issues have we came across dub takes of Bob Marley's most famous works. A "Volume One" of official dubs came out around 2010 but covered only a small amount of the bands work.

This bootleg compilation however digs deep into The Wailers catalogue throughout the bands years with Island Records between 1972 and 1980 and finally gives us a round up of the hidden dubs that in most cases here have never been given an official release!

Enjoy!   : )

  3. Argh! While I can't thank you enough for the music you've supplied, I'm a little disappointed that the one set I was most looking forward to is the only one that appears to be unavailable. Any chance of getting this back up on DepositFiles? Regardless, thank you very, very much!

    1. Thanks for letting me know, I will get it this one back up as soon as possible, check back shortly.

      Thanks for stopping by : )

    2. Argh (again)! The two DepositFiles links have changed, but it appears that the files still do not exist. I'll be patient and try again later. Many thanks!!!

    3. I re-uploaded this set but as you say depositfiles have taken them down again :(

      I will try a different file hosting site, please check back soon :)

    4. New links available via sendspace

      Hopefully now you can enjoy this set : )

    5. Downloading has commenced. I appreciate very much your perseverance in making this music available again. Thanks!

    6. Argh! Almost made it! While the files for Disc's 3 + 4 worked fine, I'm getting CRC errors on the ZIP file containing Disc's 1 + 2. And strangely, it appears that inside the ZIP file is....another ZIP file (with a different name). Hope you can help...unless the error is on my part!

      Delete
    7. Well, nevermind! I downloaded the ZIP file once again, and this time the file did NOT contain CRC errors. The file unzipped fine and the sound files look good. I haven't listened to them yet, but seeing as how it's nearly 2:00am here, I think I'll save that for the morning and hit the bed now instead.

      Thanks again!!!

    8. Hopefully the new links should work fine. I was told if you put a ZIP file within a ZIP file it would make it harder for the file sharing host (in this case sendspace) to recognize it as copyrighted material?
      Even though the majority of this set is not available to purchase anywhere!
      Got there in the end, enjoy : )

  4. Another request for a re-up from me!

  5. Thanks for all your great work! What are "Custom Dubs?" Who were they customized for? Are these dub plates recorded for sound systems? If so does anyone know which ones? Thanks again

    1. Greetings Danny,
      I'm not really sure what those "Custom Dubs" are or where they first originated. When we came across these recordings those tracks were in a seperate section.
      Thanks for stopping by the blog : )

  7. Good day! I downloaded the Dub Sessions zip file from 4shared, but I've noticed that a good many of the individual songs are missing. For example, there's only 9 songs for disc two, and 10 for disc three. Discs one and four are also missing a song or two. I'm not sure if this was intentional or not, but I thought it wouldn't hurt to mention it. Many thanks!
