Start with some Heptones, Jacob Miller/Inner Circle, Gregory Isaacs, Dennis Brown, Delroy Wilson, Toots & the Maytals, and some Lee "Scratch" Perry and King Tubby for some of the best Dub.

I've taken down ... tons of music over the years ..in CD format & memory sticks - 2 or 4 gig ...& handed them out to various bars ( Canoe/ Mom's Place ) & tourists - ( Groove 16 & random people )
I did a music swap on here a few years ago
U can get music from youtube ..by right clicking on the video ( & copying the URL ) ..in another window have a youtube to MP3 converter ,,paste the URL ..download -& open to an Itunes account
Audio only ..no video...I'll hit up someones channel ..& surf away
