Is Vol 3 really that much worse than the other three? I looked at the track list and there seems to be a lot of fine stuff.

Strangely I've been listening to a lot of pre-digital Jammy the excellent The Crowning of Prince Jammy and King Jammy In Roots these days, but I did buy the first volume of the Selector's Choice and it was great fun (if occasssionally a little uneven--some of these are not my favorite deejays/singers.)

I've found this set works quite well as an iPod playlist to be shuffled through. Don't know if I could play any one volume straight front to back.

Oh, God, someone delete my thread on this--I did try the search engine, honest...

3 is the ~~dud~~ weakest of the bunch, the lull before the punanny storm if you will.

fifteen years pass...

From a pr email:

King Jammy Destroys The Virus With Dub finds Jamaican producer, mixing engineer and Reggae icon King Jammy emerging from his famed Waterhouse studio in Kingston, Jamaica with 12 new dub mixes from his original master recordings.

On King Jammy Destroys The Virus With Dub, Jammy went back to his multi-track master recordings from the 70s-90s and remixed new dub versions of classic recordings, a follow-up to Waterhouse Dub, released by VP Records in 2017.
