That last track on the Salmonella Dub Outside the Dubplates, "Tui Dub (Mad Professor version)" prompted another visit to Dubly Beloved Mad Prof's Dub Me Crazy series, this time Part 9: Science & the Witch Doctor from 1990.
Mad Professor has supplied six great works of music here in the past, with two being last Dub September's Parts 10 & 12 of the Dub Me Crazy series.

I'm ashamed to admit that today's Newcomer to NSS is none other than original Toaster Dennis Alcapone. Alcapone demonstrated a stylistic maturity even at this early stage of his career that ranks him right up with the mighty U Roy in the upper echelon of Toasters. I can't believe it has taken this long. Since he's not strictly Dub, I guess I just overlooked him. But that's one of the reasons I do this. So many great artists that get overlooked.
Remedied. Overlooked no more. X2...
This one is from Clement 'Coxsone' Dodd & Studio One (Studio One's first ever pressing). Dennis' debut & it is a scorcher.
