Radiation Roots present a reissue of King Tubby And The Aggrovators' Shalom Dub, originally released in 1975. The house band of Bunny "Striker" Lee was formed in the mid-1970s by some of Jamaica's most prominent and musically expressive session players. The shifting core line-up spun off from the Soul Syndicate and thus typically featured Earl "Chinna" Smith and Tony Chin on guitar and Bernard "Touter" Harvey on organ. Carlton "Santa" was the main drummer, but Carlton Barrett of the Wailers band and "Benbow" Creary were sometimes featured. Most crucially, on bass, Aston "Family Man" Barrett shifted to Fully Fullwood (and occasionally, Earl "Bagga" Walker), until Robbie Shakespeare took over, becoming the bandleader. The band was responsible for the popular "flying cymbal" style that took Jamaica by storm, and you can hear it in abundance on this killer dub set from 1975. Its excellent cuts of Cornell Campbell and Johnnie Clarke material mixed at King Tubby's studio are a must for all serious fans of dub. CD version includes two bonus tracks.

2024 repress. King Tubby and producer Bunny "Striker" Lee are intertwined in the birth of dub music. After discovering a mistake that was made into a "serious joke" they went on to release the first pressings of this new musical genre, named "Dub Music." Tubby's vast knowledge of electronics and Bunny's vast catalog of rhythms would lay the foundations of what today is taken as a standard... the remix/version cuts to an existing vocal tune. "Tubby did three original dub albums, Dub from the Roots, The Roots of Dub and Brass Rockers with Tommy McCook 'pon the flying cymbals. Where he mixed it with the horn going in and out in a dub way and one named Shalom Dub, you can call Tubby's, too, because he mixed the versions as they were off 45s.'' --Bunny "Striker" Lee
