Crucial Tubbys dubplate pressure.

Dense dubs of the Pablo scorcher No Entry.
Heavy heavy heavy.

Outstanding Tubbys.

1975 sequel to KT Meets The Upsetter At The Grass Roots Of Dub. Here’s Steve Barker in The Wire: ‘a chance to hear it as it should be heard, containing as it does a few moments of sheer Tubby magic, including Unit Dub, a pure and simple drum and bass outing with the bassline mixed up front and twisted through filters while a shrilly splitting hi-hat is left to steer the riddim. Definitely in the top ten of all Tubby dub mixes.’

King Tubby meets the Roots Radics.

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.

A baker’s dozen of rare or unreleased dub instrumentals by Augustus Pablo at the height of his powers, mixed at King Tubbys.
First the set of Prince Philip dubplates from Digikiller, stateside; now this from Only Roots in France.
Biff!... Baff!
Knockout stuff.

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.
