Scientist Rids the World of the Evil Curse of the Vampires

I started listening to Jamaican dub music last year.  What was I doing for the previous 21 years of my life?  I always loved reggae but dub was new to me.  When I heard dub I thought of dub-step I had no idea of dub-step's Jamaican cousin.

When I decided to jump into Dub I asked my friend's father, the king of all information regarding reggae and dub.  he told me to start with a guy named Scientist and gave me a copy of one of his albums. Scientist Rids the World of the Evil Curse of the Vampires blew my head right off the first time I listened.  I found myself immediately standing up and dancing.

 The album was released in 1981. A digitally remastered version was released by Greensleeves Records as the 25th of their Reggae Classics series in 2001.  

 The songs were mixed by Scientist at King Tubb'y studio in Jamaica.  If you don't know King Tubby, he's the father of Jamaican dub and reggae.  The album was mixed using songs from many reggae albums from the time period.

 This album is perfect for the summer, it'd be a great addition to any poolside dance party
