Album Info

Release Date: 1995

Label: Reggae Best

Dub appeared by accident in the late sixties and was originally a version of a recording which had been remixed to remove to solos.
The technique, which became a musical form in its own right, was launched by a sound engineer who was to become a mythical figure: Osborne Ruddock, better known as King Tubby.
His first productions were issued in about 1968. After many trials and tribulations and with the support of two producers who were also mythical figures, Bunny Lee and Lee Perry (Perry introduced to use of the phaser to transform the sound even more), King Tubby was finally able to make this new musical "discipline", with its emphasis on bass and drums, really take off.
New musicians soon became deeply committed to dub.
The seventies saw the arrival of Augustus Pablo, Scientist and Prince Jammy, working with the studio musicians who backed most Jamaican artists: on bass, Robbie Shakespeare or Carlton "Santa" Davis, on drums, Sly Dunbar or Lloyd Parks, who play on most of the tracks on this disc.
