No errors

Some members think they have discovered an error on the latest DIMDJ discs. Let us assure you that there are no errors nor duplicate tracks on these discs. Let us explain.

The tracks in question are:
DIMDJ #4 track 12: Dub Fever, King Tubby, riddim: Bad Boy
DIMDJ #6 track 13: Conference, Sly & Robbie, riddim: Don't Shoot Gunman

These tracks are indeed very similar so why are they both here? There's a fun and interesting back story to all this and we would like to share it.

The original recording session was made by Sly & Robbie and Sly was wearing his trademark red helmet. When the track was finished Sly pulled up his white helmet and asked everyone "Should we make another cut when I use the white helmet?".


Sly & Robbie released the first version (a k a the red helmet version) in their own name and the second version (aka the white helmet version) was handed over to King Tubby as a gift. 

We thought it would be highly interesting to present both version even tho they are a bit similar.

So you see there is always a natural explanation. 

In conclusion. 
No errors made. 
White helmet. Red helmet.
