Legend in Dub is a 1984 tribute album to Bob Marley, reinterpreting some of the songs featured on his iconic Legend compilation. Released under both the Abraham and Clocktower Records labels, this album is a unique studio project rather than a remix of original recordings. The dub versions were newly recorded by a North American session band, with arrangements by Frank Primato and production by Alfred Abraham.
This pressing is a significant release for collectors, representing a different creative approach to Marley’s legacy. Instead of using his original rhythm tracks, a new studio band recorded the songs from scratch before applying classic dub techniques like echo, delay, and reverb. This results in a heavy, spacious sound that pays homage to Marley’s songwriting while showcasing the talents of the studio musicians.
