Reggae covers are lush. I just got a 2CD set of reggae covers of Beatles tracks called Mellow Dubmarine. MELLOW DUBMARINE. Also the Radiodread and Dub Side Of The Moon albums are great. Also there is a wickedawesome version of Fever on that Johnny Greenwood Is The Controller comp. Talk about reagge cover versions please.

i dont like dub side of the moon at all. probably because the original is such a classic that i think nobody should mess with it. The idea of Beatles covers doesn't sound very good to me at all.
but then, i'm no reggae fan to begin with.

Dub Side of the Moon is great. Their version of "Brain Damage" is one of my favourite covers of all time.

I keep getting images of stoned Jamaicans sitting in their smoked-filled recording shacks, going through Allmusic.com in search of suitable albums to pun off.

Yes, it's like the sun newspaper's approach to reporting; never mind if it's any good or not, it's if we can pun that is important.

I know a lot of them are really bad but also they are really fun to listen to which makes them good. Radiodread has some really genuinely good tracks on it but also some tripe. A few of the Beatles ones are ghastly but also good in a way.
I really just need more upbeat fun music for where I'm working at the mo, nothing quite comes close to Let Down,... when he says 'hysterical and useless' it makes my day

Marlowe: Yes.
Vlari: He probably thought it was a Good Idea. Which of course it wasn't. Not even then, and certainly not now.

Pre-reggae is also good for cover versions, especially Beatles. I dare you to find a more joyful song than The Skatalites version of "Should Have Known Better". Yeah, you're probably right, that song is good too!
