"Volume 1 of Dubbing At King Tubby's. Red color vinyl. The importance of King Tubby's studio to the history of recorded sound is beyond measure and its all-encompassing influence is a lasting monument to the resolute resourcefulness of Jamaica's musical pioneers. Dubbing At King Tubby's (Volumes 1 & 2) chronicles the late Dubmaster Osbourne 'King Tubby' Ruddock's '70s output from his home studio at 18 Dromilly Avenue in Kingston. With riddims created by the most respected band of the era The Aggrovators (with famed producer Bunny 'Striker' Lee at the helm), Tubby was able to deconstruct songs to their raw essence and highlight particular elements and frequencies, giving the listener some real authentic Jamaican drum and bass.' These dubs have echoed through generations of music makers as have Tubby's innovations, such as the use of echo, reverb and hi-pass filter, which have informed the musical language of creatives the world over opening up a universe of sonic possibilities. Artists from Prince Fatty to Leftfield, Nubya Garcia to Mala have all cited King Tubby as an influence and certainly, the musical landscape would be very different today without dub. Even the late, great Andrew Weatherall was a champion of the musical aesthetic that emanated from 18 Dromilly Avenue, he played the original King Tubby compilations from Blood & Fire (on which these new issues are based) heavily in the '90s, including at a headline Glastonbury performance. Available on colored, double vinyl which includes photography from the acclaimed musical historian Dave Hendley, plus audio restoration by CEDAR/Abbey Road and remastering by Kevin Metcalfe at Sound Masters."

2021 repress. "With producer Bunny Lee... (King) Tubby's Dromilly Avenue dub factory has become synonymous with a form that has transformed the soundscape -- not just reggae but dance music generally. The importance of King Tubby's studio to the history of recorded sound is beyond measure and its all-encompassing influence is a lasting monument to the resolute resourcefulness of Jamaica's musical pioneers. The twenty-two dubs here were originally assembled by the Blood & Fire label for three bestselling but long deleted 1990s compilations that are not much sought after. Freshly sequenced and re-mastered Dubbing At King Tubby's showcases the mixing skills of King Tubby, Prince Jammy, Scientist, Phillip Smart and Pat Kelly on a drum and bass heavy selection of ground-breaking Bunny Lee dubs."

2024 repress. The Aggrovators were one of Jamaica's finest session bands, many of the tracks you know and love from the '70s reggae scene probably featured this group of musicians in some shape or form. The band was put together by Bunny "Striker" Lee, one of Jamaica's formidable producers, who, with no studio of his own, had to rely on buying studio time from the existing establishments, such as Randy's Studio or Channel 1. The updating of Studio 1 classics, which in some cases were reworkings of American R&B tunes, was common practice. The rhythms were much loved favorites and there was the added incentive that the musicians knew the tracks inside and out. This set of dubs are straight from the master tapes of such sessions orchestrated by the man Bunny Lee himself, no one knew better -- you can't keep a good tune down never mind a great one...

The Aggrovators were one of Jamaica's finest session bands put together by the hit-maker from Jamaica, Bunny Striker Lee. The group would produce some of the hardest rhythms cut at the legendary Channel 1 studio. These tracks would provide the backbone to songs that were usually voiced over at King Tubby's own studio. These cuts here represent a selection of some of those fine rhythms selected together for the first time. The Aggrovators were a group of reggae musicians that usually featured Carlton "Santa" Davis on drums playing alongside Robbie Shakespeare on bass with other musicians added like Earl "Chinna" Smith on guitar and Tommy McCook, Vin Gordon, and Lennox Brown added for horn arrangements, with keyboard and organ duties normally left to Ansel Collins and Bernard "Touter" Harvey. Jamaican Recordings have compiled some great tracks recorded by this fantastic group of musicians and focused on those cut on Channel 1 studios to give you a feel of what those times were like. Dubs of songs from Johnny Clarke, Delroy Wilson, Paragons, Ossie Scott, Roy Shirley, and Pat Kelly. CD version includes four bonus tracks.
