King Tubby's Special 1973-1976

Artists

Album Info

Release Date: 1989

Label: Trojan Records

First Pressing + faint small titles on cover front, which is how the cover was originally designed.

Second Pressings had an ugly brown box over printing these titles - with larger titles so they would stand out for buyers. However, these are not in keeping with the original cover design and look terrible.

Track D5 "Cool Down Version" has a skip in the actual recording of the source record (i.e. this LP does not physically skip). This is apparent in all copies, including the CD releases.

All tracks mixed at King Tubby's Studio, 18 Drummlie Avenue, Kingston 11, Jamaica.
Recorded Kingston, Jamaica 1973/1976.
Mastered and Edited, PTR Studios, London.

All Tracks Copyright Control. Made in England. (Note on Label)

Dedicated to the memory of Osbourne Ruddock 1941-1989
