With a storming Tubbys.
In the mid-seventies, Minkie’s friend U-Roy would sometimes pass him the mic during a Tubbys soundsystem set. Later, another friend, Sydney Wilson gave him a cut of the rhythm here, which he took to King Tubbys studio, to voice over. It’s tough, cavernous and concussive; the deejaying is relaxed and rough. King Tubby is no-messing at the controls. It’s in the same neck of the woods as classic Glen Brown. Ace!
Tough dubs of a clued-up selection of Techniques rhythms, from 1976, including Stalag, Cheer Up Black Man, and Johnny Osbourne’s interpretation of The Delfonics’ Ready Or Not. Ace.
Niney and Tubby’s dubs from 45s, 1976-1978. Total murder. Heavyweight genius.
The first of two volumes drawing on three stone-classic Blood & Fire compilations: Dub Gone Crazy, Dub Gone 2 Crazy, and Dub Like Dirt. A truly monumental selection of mind-bending mixes by King Tubby, Prince Jammy, Pat Kelly, Phillip Smart, and Scientist. The flip-sides of killer 45s by Johnny Clarke, Cornell Campbell, Delroy Wilson, Horace Andy, Leroy Smart — banger after banger, including nuff anthems — and specials from deep inside Bunny Lee’s archives. Indispensable.

Crucial Tubbys dubplate pressure.
Prince Philip Presents
Dubplates And Raw Rhythm From King Tubby's Studio 1973-1976
Prince Philip / Digikiller
A stupendous haul of sound-system specials and inspired experiments conjured from some of the greatest reggae rhythms of all time, from the inner sanctum of King Tubby’s studio in the mid-seventies (where Philip Smart was second engineer).
Seething with lethal touches of Tubby; dotted with head-spinning walk-ons for Hugh Mundell, Johnny Clarke, Jacob Miller and co; steeped in the genius of young Augustus Pablo, Smart’s childhood friend.
A staggering turn-up. Utterly crucial.
Roots anthem, produced by Tubby for Bunny Lee.
Inspired singing, feel-the-vibes deejaying, and awesome Scientist/Tubbys mixes via Channel One in 1980.
Jeesus Chroyss, we noice.
Staggering, stone-classic roots, originally released on Family Man’s handsome imprint in 1972.
Bunny Wailer on percussion; Dirty Harry on fife. Awesome Tubbys dub.
Knockout.
Super-heavyweight Aggrovators roots. Barry Brown at his very best; deadly, sombre horns; lethal Tubbys dub. Scorcher.
Tough Niney rhythms — for the likes of Dennis Brown and The Heptones — laid down by Soul Syndicate, Philip Smart and Errol T, mixed by King Tubby.
(Castro Brown added a couple of Cimarrons dubs, courtesy of Syd Bucknor in Chalk Farm, when he let off a couple of hundred whites in 1977: the last two tracks here.)
Santa Davis on drums — those flying hi-hats copped off Earl Young in Philadelphia — and Tubbys at the controls…
Pure fire.
Still breathtaking.
