essential as an effective encapsulation of "super-producer" Perry and the Upsetters' music. He describes it as capturing Perry "at the peak of his somewhat creepy powers", highlighting his deconstructionist dub techniques, "apocalyptic imprecations" and "off-the-wall witticisms", finding the tracks powerful for juxtaposing Perry's "insane" production aesthetic with the Upsetters' "utterly rock-solid grooves, grooves which not even the chief Upsetter himself can dislodge." In the Encyclopedia of Popular Music, Colin Larkin called it an "overlooked but innovative dub album" with heavy production, "bursts" of sampled dialogue and "crazy sing-along rhymes". In his book Reggae & Caribbean Music, Dave Thompson referred to the record as a "golden ring" of dub in which Perry treats Byles, Riley and other artists "to some truly dangerous textures." He wrote: "In 1975, this album provoked widespread disconcerting delirium. Today, it still sounds fresh." The editors of The Rough Guide to Reggae highlight Revolution Dub as one of Perry's best albums, highlighting the dubs of Byles' "The Long Way" and Riley's "Woman's Gotta Have It" as among its best tracks. The album was later reissued by the labels Crocodisc and Lagoon and saw release on CD. A larger audience was introduced to Revoltuion Dub with the release of Dub-Triptych (2004), a Trojan Records compilation that sequenced Revolution Dub with two other acclaimed dub albums by Lee Perry, Cloak & Dagger and 14 Dub Blackboard Jungle (both 1973), on two discs. PopMatters said that, although Revolution Dub was already available on CD, its inclusion on Dub-Triptych appeared more legitimate as the set's "high standard of production" countered the "lack of quality control over Perry's massive oeuvre," and that the improved sound quality made the new version preferable. A clean version of "Dub Revolution" appeared on the Perry's Island Jamaica compilation, Arkology (1997), while a compilation of other Black Ark dubs from the era, Upsetter in Dub, was released the same year. Legacy Revolution Dub has been described as one of Perry's most important recordings. In 2016, Exclaim! included Revolution Dub in their "Essential Guide" to Perry's work, where Patrick called it a "an oddly satisfying trip," while Variety listed the "haunting, hypnotic" album among "Perry's most mesmerizing moments". However, PopMatters' editors wrote that, despite the album's important role in dub music's evolution, and in Perry's "rise to dub-master", it had become "somewhat unjustly ignored" in the producer's repertoire. Lloyd Bradley writes that Revolution Dub and the material gathered
