Red Hot Dub, originally released in 1979 through West Londons Burning Sounds label and credited to Elroy Bailey, is a superior dub based collection that showcases subtle, masterful musicianship rather than electronic pyrotechnics and studio trickery. The album provides a perfect example of just how far UK reggae had progressed by that time and that the children of the Jamaican diaspora, together with a multitude of musical accomplices, could now stand shoulder to shoulder with their Kingston counterparts.
