Although in many ways he outgrew it, Dub was a perfect vehicle for the concepts, experiments and musical expressions of producer Lee Perry. The plastic and open ended nature of the form allowed him to shape and intervene in the sound with a freedom denied by more formal and historically grounded forms of music. Although not one of his more experimental or characteristic productions Rebels Dub allowed Lee Perry to play out a straight Disco sound, a necessity for such a consummate producer because no matter how much it was derided by the pundits Disco was at heart a legitimate creative expression and a force in music not to be ignored or casually dismissed.
