This is what's out there, according to my own records. Taken from notes I made a couple of years ago and with some recent corrections.
Not suggesting its perfect or definitive, but it should give you all a good idea. The sources I've relied on for sessiongraphies are mostly Nico Zentgraf's 'The Complete Works' (
www.nzentgraf.de) and Felix Aeppli's 'Ultimate Guide' -

Muck Spreading Dub 3:16 Paris Results riff-driven instrumental
