Reposting the contributions to the first four threads of ‘CCC’ on this lovely new site, in the order in which they were posted. More additions welcome.
Please offer up any cultural artefacts with tenuous connection to the letter ‘D’.
Here’s Datblygu with Drug Addict (Rauschgiftsuchtige) to kick us off. Why? Because it’s excellent, gives us a Double D model*, and it mentions the great New York art music goddess herself.

14 Dub Blackboard Jungle (whole album)
Chapter Three (title track)

I’m also very fond of The Skatalites – Heroes Of Reggae In Dub
Alias says
Thanks for the recommendations guys. The Lee Perry and Keith Hudson albums both came on my radar when they were re-issued in the let few years, so I’m kicking myself for not snapping them up when they were reasonably priced.
