early rave

Please id
is it a dubplate?

Might be white lable , dub plate came around about 1994 i think .

ie jungle .

I may be wrong, but the term dub plate simply refers to a test press on acetate, this is different from a white label or on actual vinyl.
I am sure some anorak will put me right though :p

i'm standing under your umbrella....lol.

my understanding is that a dub plate is just a press on acetate for testing purposes. an intermediate media to discover how it presses and works. bloody flimsy things. nice to have thou. ;)

it's a cost thing, once everyone is happy as larry with the dub-plate/test press/acetate -- then the vinyl press will green light.

i always thought 'dub-plate' was coined during the very early jungle or drum and bass era.

it would be really interesting to find out exactly where, when and who actually coined the term.

like a lot of early 90s hardcore / breakbeat / jungle culture, the term came from the Jamaican reggae scene via the large Carribean descendant population in London
