RELEASE DATE

Radiation Roots present a reissue of
Sly & Robbie
's
Dubs For Tubs: A Tribute To King Tubby
, originally released in 1990.
Lowell Dunbar
and
Robert Shakespeare
are the renowned Jamaican rhythm section that has worked with a range of international stars, including
Bob Dylan
,
Mick Jagger
,
Joan Armatrading
,
Garland Jeffries
, and countless others. They first came to know each other in the early 1970s, when both were based in rival bands playing in clubs on Kingston's Red Hills Road and started working together at Channel One studio in the mid-1970s, when Sly was musical arranger for the
Revolutionaries
house band and Robbie the main bassist for
Bunny Lee
's
Aggrovators
. After a stint of international touring in
Peter Tosh
's
Word, Sound and Power
band, which exposed them to the tastes and markets of overseas audiences, the pair joined forces more concertedly with their Taxi label, producing hits with
Gregory Isaacs
,
Dennis Brown
,
Sugar Minott
, and the
Wailing Souls
. At the same time, as the driving force behind the
Compass Point All Stars
, they brought
Grace Jones
to prominence worldwide and made
Gwen Guthrie
a star through reggaefied disco, and then brought
Black Uhuru
into the top spot in the wake of
Bob Marley
's passing. Then, when Jamaican music went digital with the "Sleng Teng" craze of the mid-1980s, Sly and Robbie made the shift in that direction too, becoming among the most prominent producers as the '80s gave way to the '90s.
Dubs For Tubs: A Tribute To King Tubby
is a digital dub salute to
King Tubby
, issued shortly after his terrible murder; it is mostly comprised of synthesizer re-cuts of classic Jamaican rhythms, with "Dub For Joy" being a tough re-working of the
Heptones
' "Love Me Girl" and "Dub To Make You Move And Groove" a take on their "Party Time";
Dennis Brown
's "Here I Come" is here mutated to "Dub For Roots People" and his "Here I Come" anthem shifted into the spongy "Dub For All Seasons." An intriguing re-work of "Sleng Teng" is among the other highlights.
