So, Chin said that for many sound systems, cutting dubplates is really a hobby or something done more for bragging rights than a realistic hope to realise returns. Think about it - if you spend US$20,000 and lose the clash, there is no return to carry you to the next clash. "That is why you do not have many clashes anymore. But the high cost of dubplates, which are a must-have for clashes, was affecting that part of sound system culture badly. Irish and Chin staged the Death Before Dishonour sound clash in Montego Bay, St James, up to the earlier part of this decade. ![]() "The dubplate business is now a full-blown industry, which is not healthy for moving forward the sound-system culture," Chin said.

I could tolerate the spotting but on many of the copies it's turned gray.There is not a hard and fast price scale for an artiste to voice a dubplate for a sound system or selector. The other problem is the spray adhesive they are using is pretty inconsistent and there is spotting. I may beable to make these look better but I shouldn't have to right? If had I known I would not have gotten them cut and they'd be square. So the two problems are when they cut the discs to make them round the paper inbetween the two layers is getting chewed up and particles from this are getting trapped between the sheets. If had known that this level of sloppy workmanship was involved I would not have ordered them. The bigger problem is that I opted for the round pictures discs and they screwed up more than half of them and they are trying to write it off as just being the way it is because they are hand made. The cuts themselves I guess are okay although the amount of surface noise seems to vary greatly between the cuts.
