Post-punk plays a large homage to reggae and dub, as seen in bands like P.I.L etc. It is basically ''white boy reggae'', there is also a significant influence of Afro-beat on bands like Talking Heads, who carved out entire albums borrowing African grooves and instrumentation. You either get reggae and dub or you don't, as a white man. I scored the one in a thousand copies of this LP, a rare transparent red copy. Mikey Dread is famous for collaborating with The Clash on Sandanista!.
