After the positive response to the first "Rescue Me" post, I decided to create a second one with the rare dub versions, three of which are only available on this US promotional 12″ single. They are all excellent in my opinion, and as with all dub versions, quite refreshing when you've listened to the main club mixes a million times.
This 12″ vinyl double pack came in a white sleeve with a sticker, pictured above.
Definition of Dub In Pop/Dance Music
Dub is genre of music that involves revisions of existing songs. The dub sound consists predominantly of instrumental remixes of existing recordings and is achieved by significantly manipulating and reshaping the recordings, usually by removing the vocals from an existing music piece, emphasizing the drum and bass parts or, in other words, 'riddim', adding extensive echo and reverb effects, and dubbing occasional snippets of lyrics or instruments from the original version.
The "Rescue Me" Dub Versions
All dub versions were created by Shep Pettibone. The two dubs named after their vocal counterparts are alternative versions of them. The Demanding Dub contains elements mostly from the S.O.S. Mix, and the Disaster Dub could be considered a second dub of the Houseboat Vocal.
My favorite is probably the Lifeboat Dub. This one features a very acid-house reminiscent synth sound not present on any of the other mixes (it can be heard at 1:05 and is repeated throughout the track).
The Demanding Dub is the only one otherwise available. It was released on CD and 12″ vinyl in Germany and Australia.
Enjoy them!
